Former NFL defensive back and kick returner Fulton Walker Jr. was recovering Friday from injuries after West Virginia sheriff's deputies said he was beaten during home-invasion robbery earlier this week. Walker was punched in the face, struck in the head and fell down in gravel several times while trying to escape an assault by two men who entered his Martinsburg home and stole a handgun, said Berkeley County Lt. Gary Harmison. "He thought he might have a concussion. He said he felt the same as he did when he was playing football," Harmison said. "He just wasn't wearing a helmet." Police said they arrested the two brothers shortly after the robbery. Walker was a defensive back at West Virginia University from 1977 to 1980 and was drafted in the sixth round in 1981 by the Miami Dolphins. He played for the Dolphins until 1984, and for the Los Angeles Raiders the following year. Source: Associated Press
