Internet sleuths have speculated that they know the identity of the man who called Jabrill Peppers' on-off girlfriend during sex, which sparked the incident that led to the domestic violence case against the NFL star. A jury acquitted Peppers, the New England Patriots safety, on Friday in his assault and battery trial. He finished testifying earlier in the day by denying he choked or shoved his accuser.

Peppers, who first took the witness stand on Thursday, had been on trial this week on charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. A woman testified Thursday that Peppers grabbed her by the neck, slammed her against the wall and pushed her down the stairs after another man called her cellphone several times while they were in bed.

NFL fans think they know the identity of the person who called her. Case documents released on Friday and published to social media claimed the man was named 'JuJu'. They also referenced a 'teammate'. This has led many to speculate the identity of the person is JuJu Smith-Schuster, the Kansas City Chiefs receiver who played with Peppers at the Patriots until August 2024.
