This Nov. 19, 2018, file photo shows Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt in action during the second half of an NFL football game against the Los Angeles Rams in Los Angeles. The lasting image of Kareem Hunt’s second NFL season wasn’t him stiff-arming a linebacker, shedding a tackle or barreling over a cornerback at the goal line for a touchdown. It was him pushing a woman and then kicking her while she was defenseless on the floor. That disturbing moment caught on surveillance video mortified the sports world. The Cleveland Browns believe it was a random act by a young man who feels remorse and deserves a second chance. (AP Photo/Kelvin Kuo, File)
