Even in the video, you see his character.

He has shown no remorse about it. Literally, none.


All he talks about is about that not being him, to get to know the real him. He doesn't ONCE apologize for his actions. It's just "It was a mistake".

No "I'm sorry for breaking her face" or "I'm sorry for not leaving when I should have". None of that.

You know what I see ?  A young kid that is standing next to his lawyer who advised him not to speak on the incident.  The smiling is a nervous social reaction when you aren't comfortable with the situation.  Ive never hit a woman, but I also had a very different upbringing than im sure this guy did and if you don't think his culture growing up isn't being reflected in this incident than I don't know what to tell you.  You want this guy to break down crying and fall to his knees begging for forgiveness every time the topic is brought up ?  He has shown remorse after this interview from years ago, but that's not good enough.  Ive known great guys who have done worse than this kid who turned their lives completely around and some interview from an 18 year old kid being advised by his lawyer not to talk about things won't change my opinion on that subject.

Edit:

Lastly im just gonna say that I haven't interacted with him so I don't know if he has learned or if he is a grade A total asshole, but I'm intelligent enough to know that I would never judge a person from media alone. The Bengals need to do their job and make sure this guy has the self discipline to grow into a professional and a man. If not then don't draft him.
