Trevone Boykin: 'I think I cried for like 2 days' after December arrest

Former TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin enjoyed a storied college career, but he may never come to terms with the way it ended.

While most of his teammates were in bed the night of Dec. 30, just a few days before the Alamo Bowl, Boykin was in prison.

"It truly humbled me," Boykin told ESPN in a sit-down interview at the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, which takes place Saturday. "As I was sitting in the cell and they gave me my phone, I was talking to my mom, I broke down in tears.

"I'm not really an emotional guy. I don't cry a lot, but that incident - it really hurt me inside just knowing the fact that I let down my teammates, I let down the city of Fort Worth, I let down TCU, and most of all the people that helped me get to this point to where I was before all this had happened. It just hurt so much I think I cried for like two days."

The senior quarterback was involved in a bar fight that night, after team curfew. He was arrested for allegedly punching a police officer at the scene, and subsequently suspended for his last game as a Horned Frog.

"It still hurts me now to know that I didn't even get to play my last college game," Boykin said. "I had family coming down to come watch me, I had friends coming down to come watch me. It just hurt so much, but it really lets you know after the incident the people that are there for you through thick and thin, that they'll always be there for you. That's what I really took in, it humbled me so much."

Boykin is now preparing for the NFL draft, where he's expected to be a late-round pick, if he's drafted at all. Regardless, he'll face an uphill battle to crack an NFL roster out of training camp.
