Azeez Al-Shaair writes lengthy apology to Trevor Lawrence after awful late hit

There was no question that Azeez Al-Shaair delivered a horribly dangerous hit on Trevor Lawrence that left the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback concussed and the Houston Texans linebacker ejected.

Al-Shaair took to social media to post a lengthy apology to Lawrence a day after the hit.

He said he “genuinely didn’t see him sliding until it was too late. And it all happens in the blink of an eye.”

“To Trevor I genuinely apologize to you for what ended up happening,” he added. He went on to say he understood Lawrence’s Jaguars teammates having the QB’s back and had a message for those who sent awful messages to him.
