Anyway, last week, Stephens was arrested for rape. Police in Louisiana say he was in a store and overheard a 51-year-old woman expressing interest in renting property. Stephens offered to show her an apartment, drove the woman to somewhere in rural Caddo Parish, and attacked her — or so says the arrest warrant. He's being held on a $100,000 bond. Give him 80 points, and a spot in our top five along with Naposki. Bad week for the old Pat Patriots — let's hope Foxboro stays quiet for a few months.
