first round pick robbed

Pittsburgh Steelers first-round pick Rashard Mendenhall was robbed at gunpoint early Monday morning, according to a report in the Chicago Tribune. Mendenhall’s mother, Sybil, confirmed to the newspaper that her son was one of two people robbed along the city’s lakefront at about 2 a.m. Monday morning. “He didn’t get hit or anything, he didn’t get hurt or anything,” Sybil Mendenhall said Monday afternoon. “He’s fine.” He had recently returned from the team’s three-day minicamp. Sybil Mendenhall said her son had his wallet and cell phone taken by the robbers.
