More than half of the NFL players surveyed said they have not been hazed, according to the results of an ESPN Survey released on ESPN.com this afternoon.
The Wednesday-Thursday poll, conducted by NFL Nation reporters with 72 players on the respective teams they cover, solicited anonymous replies to three questions relating to the ongoing Miami Dolphins’ Richie Incognito/Jonathan Martin bullying news.
Bob Ley will present analysis of the survey results on today’s 6 p.m. ET SportsCenter.
