A former Ohio State and Chicago Bears offensive lineman has been charged with felony assault of a police officer.
Charges against 33-year-old Kirk Barton were filed after his arrest outside the Bogey Bar & Grill in Dublin
Youth JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey , Ohio.
Police say the 6-foot-6 Barton was at the bar Friday when management asked deputies to remove him because he was intoxicated and knocking people over.
The Delaware County Sheriff's office says Barton was escorted to a taxi van without incident but couldn't provide his address. Deputies and the taxi driver
were trying to determine the address when Barton allegedly slammed the van's
sliding door on a deputy's arm.
Barton's attorney, Sam Shamansky

injured deputy.
The Lions are spending another offseason trying to find a backfield mix that will give their offense the kind of balance it’s been missing for much of
Matthew Stafford‘s run as the team’s quarterback.
Part of this year’s plan was signing LeGarrette Blount as a free agent after Blount’s bruising running style helped the Eagles win Super Bowl LII. That title
came a year after Blount was part of a Patriots championship team and the Lions
would certainly like to make a run like that this season.
No one’s going to pin all hopes on that front on Blount, but the chances of anything close to that happening would improve if he does well on the field.
Running backs coach David Walker made it clear how he sees Blount doing
that.
“Hopefully

Detroit Free Press. “It’s one thing with 200-pounds of Ameer [Abdullah] or Theo [Riddick] running through
the hole that you have to tackle. And it’s a totally different animal trying to
tackle a 240-pound LeGarrette Blount. So we understand that hopefully will put a
little bit more stress on the defense.”
Adding a competent run game to an often potent passing attack would certainly stress out defenses, but May optimism about better days on the ground has gone
unrealized often enough that Detroit will remain in wait and see mode a while
longer.
