BELLEFONTE, Pa. -- Jurors heard Thursday that a former Penn State head football coach testified that Mike McQueary told him years before Jerry Sanduskys arrest that he had made a complaint about Sandusky to university administrators.The deposition by Tom Bradley was read during the fourth day of trial in McQuearys defamation and whistleblower lawsuit against the university over his treatment after Sanduskys 2011 child molestation arrest.Bradley said he fielded a rumor that made him approach McQueary, a fellow assistant under Paterno, in 2004 or 2005.Im not sure how this happened, but somebody said something and I asked Mike about it. He said there was an incident, Bradley said in May 2015. I dont know his exact words.Bradley said he asked McQueary what he did.He said, `I turned it in to Joe and Curley and Schultz, Bradley said, references to then-head coach Joe Paterno, then-athletic director Tim Curley and then-vice president Gary Schultz.He said he did not remember if McQueary used the word, sexual.It was not a long, detailed description, if thats what youre asking me, Bradley sadBradley also said he believes the school mistreated McQueary, citing a bowl game bonus McQueary wasnt given at the end of the 2011 season. Bradley was briefly the schools head coach after university trustees fired Paterno, in part over his handling of the McQueary complaint.Bradley said he never discussed the McQueary incident with Sandusky, although he would occasionally see him in team facilities after Sandusky retired in 1999.Questions about whether rumors regarding Sandusky had cropped up before the investigation that produced charges have long hung over the Penn State football program.A lawyer for Bradley, now UCLAs defensive coordinator, told The Associated Press this summer he never witnessed any inappropriate behavior and had no knowledge of alleged incidents in the 1980s and 1990s.The lawyer, Brett Senior, said Thursday he was not aware the testimony was being read. I think whatevers been said is old and stale, Senior said.Outside the courthouse after Thursdays session, McQueary declined comment about Bradleys deposition.McQueary has testified he saw Sandusky sexually abusing a boy in a team shower one evening in 2001 and reported it the next day to Paterno. He then met with Curley and Schultz about the incident a few days later.Nothing happened in the matter for more than a decade, when authorities investigating another complaint about Sandusky got a tip suggesting they contact McQueary.McQueary testified against Sandusky at the 2012 criminal trial that resulted in a 45-count conviction.In the civil case, McQueary is seeking more than $4 million in lost wages and other claims.The school maintains it did not retaliate against McQueary and that he was damaged in the publics eye by questions about why he didnt physically intervene to help the boy or call police.Earlier Thursday, former Penn State President Graham Spanier testified that he issued a statement the day Curley and Schultz, two of his top lieutenants, were charged, calling the allegations groundless because he trusted them and believed they were honest people.McQuearys lawsuit against the university alleges Spaniers statement made it appear McQueary was a liar.Spanier said he came to trust Curley and Schultz after working closely with them for many years. They were charged with perjury and failure to properly report suspected child abuse.This was an unbelievable injustice, that these two guys, who are like Boy Scouts, would be charged with a crime, Spanier said. And thats what was in my head as I was giving this opinion.Spanier began drafting the statement about a week earlier. He said thats when the schools then-general counsel got a tip through the attorney generals office that Sandusky, Curley and Schultz would be charged.Spanier was forced out by the board of trustees a few days later, and the next year he also was charged over his handling of the Sandusky matter. A state appeals court earlier this year threw out several of the charges against all three administrators, but they remain accused of failure to properly report suspected abuse and endangering the welfare of children. They await trial in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.He said he wasnt thinking about McQueary when drafting the statement, and in fact didnt realize at that time that McQueary was a key figure in the investigation and an unnamed assistant described in the grand jury presentment used to help charge Sandusky.---Associated Press reporter Michael R.

Jon Montgomery of Eckville, Alta. There are a lot of tremendous athletes in the NFL and, sometimes, all they need is a new and better opportunity to improve their production. While a new team, or scheme, doesnt guarantee production, the opportunity is what matters. Last season, for example, Brandon Marshall set career highs in receptions (118), yardage (1,508) and touchdowns (11) upon joining the Chicago Bears; Demaryius Thomas broke through in his third season with the Broncos, thanks in no small part to having Peyton Manning as his quarterback; Vincent Jackson had a career-best 72 catches for 1,384 yards in his first season with Tampa Bay. Those three ranked third, fourth and fifth in receiving yardage last season. It should be noted that some players, like Mike Wallace going to Miami and Ahmad Bradshaw going to Indianapolis for example, may continue to be productive with their new teams, but may not be as likely to improve on the numbers theyve put up previously. So, who are some players getting new opportunities this year that might be in for productive seasons? Steven Jackson, RB, Atlanta - Jackson has run for more than 1,000 yards in eight consecutive seasons. Hes 30-years-old, which can be a time of decline for running backs, but Jackson joins an Atlanta Falcons offence that is much more prolific than the Rams offence that hes been trying to carry. For all of the yardage hes accumulated -- last seasons 1,363 yards from scrimmage was his lowest since 2007, Jackson hasnt scored more than eight touchdowns in a season since 2006. The back that Jackson is replacing, Michael Turner, scored 61 touchdowns over the last five seasons with Atlanta, so a double-digit touchdown season shouldnt be out of the question for Jackson. Daryl Richardson, RB, St. Louis - In the wake of Jacksons departure from St. Louis, there is opportunity for Richardson, the second-year back who gained 638 yards from scrimmage as a rookie after he was a seventh-round pick in 2012. Richardson may not be big enough to handle a full starters workload, and Isaiah Pead will compete for touches, but whoever gets to run for the Rams will have a chance to produce. David Wilson, RB, N.Y. Giants - A first-round pick in 2012, Wilson found himself in the doghouse for much of his rookie season after a fumble on the second carry of his NFL career, but showed potential late in the year, rushing for 247 yards in the last four games. Wilson will share backfield duties with Andre Brown, and could lose touchdown opportunities as a result, but hes a good bet to be the more productive back for Big Blue. Greg Jennings, WR, Minnesota - After injuries limited him to just eight games for the Packers last season, Jennings gets a fresh start with a division rival and does so as the Vikings number one wide receiver. That brings no guarantee of production, considering the focus on the running game with Adrian Peterson and the fact that third-year quarterback Christian Ponder isnt exactly Aaron Rodgers, but Jennings is a three-time 1,000-yard receiver who has scored nine touchdowns in a season four times, and he could get back to those numbers over a full season with the Vikings. Tony Moeaki, TE, Kansas City - AFter sitting out the entire 2011 season with a knee injury, Moeaki returned last season and had modest numbers for the Chiefs, but could be poised for a bigger role as the Chiefs offence is overhauled, with new quarterback Alex Smith and new head coach Andy Reid implementing an offence that has tended to be good for ttight end production.dddddddddddd If its not Moeaki who benefits, maybe it will be newcomer Anthony Fasano, who was reliable, if perhaps under-utilized, in Miami. Danny Amendola, WR, New England - Few newcomers have the notoriety of Amendola, the slot receiver who is set to replace Wes Welker in the Patriots offence. Amendola has missed 20 games over the last two seasons, so health is a primary concern, but hes productive when he plays, recording 153 receptions in 28 games (5.46 per game) over the last three seasons. If Amendola can build trust with Brady, though, Amendola will have far better opportunities to produce than he did with St. Louis while quarterback Sam Bradford was in the infancy of his NFL career. Can he catch 100 passes and gain 1,000 yards, like Welker? That might be asking a lot, but its not out of the question. Jared Cook, TE, St. Louis - Following a breakthrough season with the Titans in 2011, when he had 759 receiving yards, Cook took a step back last season and has moved on to a Rams offence which, due to unproven receivers, offers plenty of room for Cook to become a big part of the passing attack. Cook is a big target and athletic enough to get down the field. If he becomes a red zone threat (hes scored eight touchdowns in four NFL seasons), then his value will really take off. Martellus Bennett, TE, Chicago - Going from a back-up role in Dallas to a starting spot with the Giants last season paid off for Bennett as he registered career-highs in receptions (55), yardage (626) and touchdowns (5) and now he moves to the Bears, where there should be ample opportunity to play a big role in the Bears passing game under new head coach Marc Trestman. Maybe Bennett wont improve dramatically over last season, but the Bears are likely to pass more than they have in the past and Bennett can be part of that production. Dallas Clark, TE, Baltimore - Far enough removed from his career-best 2009 season, with the Colts, when he caught 100 passes for 1,106 yards, Clark could be a valuable addition to the Ravens offence in the wake of Dennis Pittas hip injury. Re-connecting with offensive co-ordinator Jim Caldwell, who coached Clark with the Colts, provides familiarity and, even at 34, Clark could put up good numbers with a good quarterback and an offence that targets the tight end. Ed Dickson is also a consideration for the Ravens, but hes currently dealing with a hamstring injury, providing more opportunity for Clark to get settled into his role. Jacoby Jones, WR, Baltimore - Staying with the Ravens, Jones could see a bump in production as he moves into the
