NFL Security has responded quickly to the bizarre incident that allegedly took place outside the home of embattled Texans quarterback Matt Shaub.
According to a report via Fred Davis of CBS Houston, Houston Texans starting quarterback Matt Schaub, was the victim of verbal abuse by irate fans on Tuesday evening.
“A fan went to his house and told him off,” said the source, adding that another person “took pictures of his family,” which were allegedly posted on Facebook. Fortunately, neither Schaub nor anyone in his family was hurt.
N.F.L.V.P. of security Jeff Miller confirmed Wednesday to Ian Rapoport that the league was contacted after such an incident took place outside of the home of Schaub’s home.
“This is a little unusual in that we don’t normally have fans acting in this way, going to a players residence that sort of thing,” Miller said. “In this case, Monday afternoon, a vehicle pulled into his driveway, an unidentified individual yelled obscenities. The police department is involved. We’ve been in contact with them as we normally would for anything like this. And because its a team issue, they have a security director, we work with them.
“In this case, they’ll be working closely with the police department. But it’s going to be investigated and handled seriously by Houston Police Department.”
Miller said that the league will coordinate with team security “to provide extra support because this story is now in the public eye.”
He also said that security can be provided for Schaub’s family when he is traveling and they “don’t need to be subjected to things like this.”
