BREAKING: Former Baylor RB Devin Chafin responds to Dolores Lozano's claims. Says he never choked or kicked her. And Briles didn't know. MORE... Former Baylor running back Devin Chafin admits he "grabbed" Dolores Lozano "because she was fighting me" but claims he "never threw her to the ground, kicked her or choked her."

Chafin told me: "The story has been falsely constructed. No one knows the entire story. This girl is not who she claims to be." Chafin said he never discussed the situation with former head coach Art Briles, but did with current assistant Jeff Lebby. Lebby is Briles' son-in-law, but Chafin said he has no knowledge of Lebby sharing their conversation.

Chafin said Lozano did have direct contact with Lebby, who today declined immediate comment. "Coach Lebby told me to calm down," Chafin said. "I was emotional. I was crying. I needed to talk to somebody."

Chafin said a specific, personal event affecting he and Lozano's relationship led to a dramatic conversation that preceded the altercation. "I was never interviewed by Waco Police," Chafin said. "She would not leave my house. I honestly don't know what bruising I caused. But there were no criminal charges for a reason."

Chafin claims Lozano e-mailed Lebby for help getting a job in 2015 and that she has repeatedly continued to contact her.

Chafin says Lozano is motivated by "her desire to be in the spotlight - a part of the story. And, maybe to get back at me for ignoring her at times."

Chafin said he believes he was finally dismissed by Baylor not because of a marijuana charge, but because of these allegations. "Right now, they want to clear their names of anything related to assault," Chafin said. "People are looking at me like I abuse women and I don't. It's hard."

Chafin said it hurts to see what has happened at Baylor, with the President, Athletics Director and Head Coach all gone.

"The President and the football coach are not the people to be contacting in cases of serious assault," Chafin said. "Contact the police, not coaches. Go to the police."

Chafin said he plans to play at the FCS level this season. "I feel I have not done anything wrong," Chafin said. "My hopes of the NFL are hurt severely right now but hopefully not gone."

I've not much love for Baylor and I love piling on as much as the next guy, but this sounds believable to me. If it doesn't to you then you probably haven't been blessed with a crazy girlfriend/wife.

Baylor official statement on the Chafin situation.

Full of sound and fury signifying nothing as far as I can tell. Someone must be paid by the word.

"We are committed to learning from the experiences of our students and former students as Baylor implements the improvements identified in the Pepper Hamilton recommendations. Because of the complex nature of dating and domestic violence, even when complainants report abuse to the police, their school and others, complainants may be reluctant to move forward with a campus or criminal investigation. In developing informed and sensitive responses, we must be open to understanding the unique dynamics of dating and domestic violence, including individual barriers and safety considerations, and to supporting our students as they evaluate their options. Further, we are actively taking steps to ensure all of our students understand and trust the full range of resources available to them."
