Quinn’s truck had reportedly struck two vehicles parked in a woman’s driveway who then told police the football player assaulted her. She told police he exited the truck, offered to buy her a beer and later “grabbed her by the shoulders,” saying “listen to me,” before allegedly slapping her across the face, the outlet noted.
Quinn was first drafted to the St. Louis Rams in 2011 before being traded to the Miami Dolphins in 2018, according to ESPN records. He then spent one season with the Dallas Cowboys before moving on to three seasons with the Chicago Bears.
