Is anyone really surprised?
LinkFormer Ohio State star running back Maurice Clarett came clean about living an NFL lifestyle while he was with the Buckeyes, according to author Monte Burke in his book 4th & Goal: One Man's Quest to Recapture His Dream.
The book follows former Omaha Nighthawks coach Joe Moglia, who coached Clarett while he was in the United Football League. While a member of the Nighthawks, Clarett allegedly addressed his teammates and confessed some of his past transgressions while attending OSU.
Deadspin presented an excerpt of the book in which Clarett details his life in college (h/t Sporting News):
"Away from class, anything you can think of I did in my 13 months at Ohio State." Drugs and women were two of the things. Cars were another—he owned three of them at a time, including a brand-new Cadillac and Lexus. "I was living the NFL life in college," he says. "I got paid more in college than I do now in the UFL."
