I guess he was called out on a bunch of lies about 3 years ago and seems he lies thru his teeth about his personal life(doesn't necessarily mean his nfl scoops are incorrect)
This was taken from reddit, I guess him and the Barstool guys got into a spat over these issues:

From what I can see:
Several people have found a fairly substantial list of inconsistencies.
Examples:
* Claimed he has 2 Gold Gloves, which is so far unsubstantiated.
* Claims he was a walk on football player for the University of Arkansas, so far unsubstantiated (and although I hate making personal shots at the average joe's bodies, the idea of someone like him being a college football player at a top program is nearly impossible)
* Claims his father was a pro golfer, so far unsubstantiated
* Claimed 2 tours in the Army for a long time until claiming 3. When this was pointed out, he claimed it was a different type of non-combat tour that he wouldn't care to explain to a civilian. However, the implication of the tweet claiming "3" was that there was some form of danger.
* Claimed he worked in "urinalysis" in the military, much to the excitement of other military members who were quick to point out the ridiculousness of the idea that it makes him an expert on drug test collection protocols.
* Claimed 2 different things: 1. Found out he was accepted to Harvard while he was on combat duty in Iraq, and 2. Found out he was accepted to Harvard while he was in America.
* Also weirdly said he turned down prestigious institutions in a 2008 article, but only mentioned NYU. NYU is one of the best universities in the world but to list NYU as his best example of a prestigious school over Harvard is absurdly unlikely, especially considering later on in his life he solely used Harvard as his example.
* In the same article there are timelines for work that he did that contradict the timelines he presents on LinkedIn.
* Claimed he went straight from his Father's funeral to leave for an Iraq tour, something which several veterans took issue with as it did not seem likely at all.
None of the inconsistencies are, in themselves, substantial. If you could look at everything most people said in a 10 year period you can find little exaggerations, lies of omission, or inconsistencies that could be explained. Even the athlete things could be explained away as being over 20 years ago. But there is a lot of them, to be honest.
**Here's where it gets weird:**
* Claimed he attended Harvard Law and left to do other things. Several people pointed out that had previously claimed that he turned them down after being accepted. Given the fact that he 100% said he did imply he was on campus, met other students, and even did coursework, this is a pretty substantial lie.
* Someone requested information about his service. The military provided information that contradicted claims he made about service, such as rank, service location and duties, awards, etc.
* Claims he will prove it but needs time to get his DD214. After a day or so he was asked when he was going to produce it. He replied that "any veteran would know" why he couldn't get it that fast. This is **100% bullshit** and dozens of veterans have called him out on it as not being able to access your DD214 with 24 hours while at home is actually extremely odd, especially for someone who so frequently claims Stolen Valor and threatens people as often as he does. He even asks to compare DD214s with other veterans in previous conversations to show how much his "shits on theirs".
So IMO it seems like Barstool people are being weird assholes and that there are people Doxing.
...But at the same time this dude is being caught in a long list of small lies, he's threatening legal action and claimed to be meeting with his laywer since he has been accused of Stolen Valor, but I'm not really sure what happens next.
