Vontae Davis discusses recent identity theft
Quote:
Mike Berardino of The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports Vontae Davis didn't need this NFL Rookie Symposium to help him understand the dangers of identity theft.
The Dolphins' first-round draft pick experienced that nightmare firsthand when an impostor, apparently using an invalid driver's license that had been stolen from Davis months earlier, presented that fake identification to a Champaign, Ill., police officer during a routine traffic stop June 9.
Two weeks later, Davis' name was briefly splashed across news reports that made it look like he was the one arrested instead of the impostor. Davis and the Dolphins maintain he was actually in South Florida at the time of the arrest.
"We talk about this stuff every week in our player development meetings [with the Dolphins]," Davis, a cornerback from the University of Illinois, said during a break in Tuesday's youth football clinic at PGA National. "To actually see it happen to you, you're like, 'Wow.' It wakes you up, like this stuff is serious. It's really serious."
