According to a story posted on the Bloomberg website Monday, ex-NFL players including Evans, Warren Sapp, Donovan McNabb and Marshall Faulk allegedly groped and made sexually explicit comments to female colleague Jami Cantor.
Cantor filed an amended complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court Monday alleging sexual misconduct in the workplace, according to Bloomberg.
Cantor also claims that after she informed talent coordinator Marc Watts of the issues, he told her, ‘It is part of the job when you look the way you do.’
Evans, Faulk and Ike Taylor were suspended by the NFL Network Tuesday pending an investigation.
Evans, a fullback, graduated from The King’s Academy in 1997, and went on to play college football at Auburn. He spent 10 seasons with the Seahawks, Dolphins, Patriots and Saints, and played in two Super Bowls.
He is a member of the Palm Beach County Sports Hall of Fame.
Evans visited King’s Academy in February 2016 to present the school with the NFL’s Golden Football.
