Former New England Patriots fullback Patrick Pass made a living of hitting people during his NFL career.
But the former NFL player took his affinity for hitting others way too far.
On Wednesday, it was reported that Pass was arrested in Rhode Island for pushing an 82-year-old man to the ground during a dispute over gym equipment.

The incident occurred in August at the Planet Fitness location in North Providence.
The elderly man reportedly sustained injuries to his back. Pass was granted $10,000 personal recognizance and was ordered not to have contact with the victim.
According to the New York Post, Pass was charged with the assault of a man over 60 years of age, resulting in bodily injury (felony), as well as disorderly conduct (misdemeanor).
Pass, 46, won three Super Bowls with the Patriots. His first stint with the team lasted from 2000 to 2006, and jumped from limited stints with the Houston Texans and New York Giants in 2007.
He was selected in the 2000 draft in the seventh round by the Pats.
According to sports media outlet Outkick, Pass rejoined the Pats in 2009 as part of their practice squad before calling it a career.
After his playing career, Pass coached the Massachusetts Pirates of the Indoor Football League from 2020 to 2021.
However, hewas indefinitely suspended by the IFL due to his involvement in a brawl that saw players jumping into the stands during a game with the Arizona Rattlers. He has since remained with the team, working as its Director of Football Personnel Development.
