Steelers draft pick Mendenhall robbed

CHICAGO -- Pittsburgh Steelers first-round draft pick Rashard Mendenhall was robbed at gunpoint along the Chicago lakefront early Monday, his mother and agent said.

The former running back was not hurt in the robbery, during which two people stole Mendenhall's wallet and cellular telephone, his mother, Sybil Mendenhall, told the Chicago Tribune.

"He didn't get hit or anything, he didn't get hurt or anything," Sybil Mendenhall said. "He's fine."

Police spokesman John Mirabelli said a man and a woman were robbed at the lakefront around 2 a.m. Monday by two offenders, but declined to identify the victims. No one was in custody for the crime, he said.

"It was obviously a scary moment," Mendenhall's agent, Mike McCartney, told the Chicago Sun-Times. "But he is fine. He is doing great. He said he doesn't have anything that is worth his life."

The Steelers selected Mendenhall with the 23rd pick in this year's NFL draft.

The 20-year-old Mendenhall skipped his senior year at Illinois to enter the draft. He was the 2007 Big Ten offensive player of the year.

Either some people just don't give a shit. Or they are looking for trouble.

Larry Johnson grew up in a good part of town too. Are you saying LJ isn't a thug? The mother ****er hits women and endorses the hip hop lifestlye.

always fun to get someone's honest, racist, feelings.....

UPDATE: So I checked out the location of where he was held up- south of the loop. 39th street. Which means he probably took the Redline to that stop. I don't venture a lot down south, but probably not my favorite place to be traipsing around at that time. I do find it odd that he refused to give any description to the police.

From watching the newscasts since I've lived in the Chicago area, it seems like many of the violent stuff happens on the numbered streets (south side), so why he was down there is beyond me. Plus, 39th would probably be close to Comiskey, and there are some not real great neighborhoods around the stadium (although the lakefront is a few miles from there). He should just stick around Skokie, where he's from, if he wants to be wandering around at 2 am.

You rob him AFTER he signs the contract. AFTER. Buncha idiots these bums are.

Your and idiot.

I'm trying to figure out what ******s is, without it being racist, and I'm having a hard time. So, I'm left to assume that you are a dumb ass racist. Well, we already knew about the dumbass part... the racist part is new though... at least to me.

When did you become such a complete douchenozzle?

Keep in mind, this is coming from me. Pretty harsh.

I don't expect a dude that is going to make his living by carrying a ball while the worlds biggest and fastest people in the world try to hit him so hard his guts pop out like a jack in the box to make great choices
