Its true, he did that a lot. Wesley Walls, Hebert, Anderson, just to name a few off the top of my head. One could even argue Delhomme. Didn't Joe Horn bang Roafs wife or something though and he asked to be traded?

Both Horn & Roaf have tried to dispel this rumor. Heck knows if it's true, but Horn DID offer to take a paternity test. What IS known is that Roaf missed the 2nd half of the 2001 season after hurting his MCL, and was traded pre-draft to KC for a 3rd round pick. At the time it was rumored that his knee wasn't healing properly, but he started all 16 games for KC in 2002 & made the Pro Bowl.
