Captain Munnerlyn was arrested on January 10th for allegedly assaulting, straggling and “super” kicking a woman in the face. He is out on a $7,500 bond.
Munnerlyn is from Alabama. He was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in the 7th round of the 2009 NFL draft. He was the 216th player selected that year. He played 7 years with the Panthers and 3 years with the Vikings. His career earnings were $25 million, including $7 million in signing bonuses.
According to accounts, Munnerlyn has had a “hard time” since leaving the NFL in 2019. I wonder how hard life could be with $25 million in earnings in 10 years. He is married to a woman named lakisha, and has 3 children. I hope they are ok!
Footnote: a “super kick” is a term used in martial arts to describe a high, side kick to the opponent’s face or chin!
