Shawn Oakman lost his NFL career after being arrested for rape two weeks before the 2016 NFL Draft.
Without question, he was going to be drafted by someone and have the opportunity to prove himself as an NFL player. That all went down the drain after his arrest.
He was acquitted after a jury came back in less than an honor with a unanimous verdict. The key to him winning the case were the deleted text messages, DNA and eyewitnesses testimony that helped proved a rape didn’t occur.
Now, Oakman is hoping he gets another shot in 2019.
The 6’9″ defensive end posted a recent sweat sesh for his followers over the weekend … and it’s clear he’s trying to let people know he’s serious about getting to the league.
“I want to play football at the highest level and just really finally get my chance,” Oakman told KWTX last week.
“I think God will set the right path for me but I don’t feel like I have to beg for anything, it’s not a begging matter. I don’t want anybody to hand me anything. I want to earn it and everything I get.”
It’s still a longshot, but we will see what happens.
