Harvey being sworn in as New Jersey's 54th Attorney General After a recent disciplinary hearing, Deshaun Watson was found to have breached the NFL's personal conduct policy. The case related to numerous accusations of sexual misconduct. The NFL's newly appointed disciplinary officer, Sue Robinson, issued the Browns quarterback with a six-week suspension, which he and the NFLPA accepted. However, the NFL did not believe that the punishment was sufficient and appealed the decision. Commissioner Goodell subsequently appointed former New Jersey Attorney General Peter C. Harvey to handle the appeal. Adam Schefter@AdamSchefterNFL teams were just notified that former NJ Attorney General Peter C. Harvey is commissioner Roger Goodell’s designee to hear the appeal of the disciplinary decision involving Deshaun Watson, per sources.2990455NFL teams were just notified that former NJ Attorney General Peter C. Harvey is commissioner Roger Goodell’s designee to hear the appeal of the disciplinary decision involving Deshaun Watson, per sources. Harvey has 40 years of experience practicing law after he graduated from Columbia Law School in 1982. His most high-profile role saw him serve as the New Jersey Attorney General between 2003 and 2007 under Governor Jim McGreevey. His appointment may not bode well for the quarterback as he has an extensive history of strictly addressing violence against women. While acting as AG of New Jersey, he was at the forefront of a sexual-assault response team initiative. Harvey is also a board member of Futures Without Violence, a nonprofit organization lobbying the government to enact policies to end violence against women and children. Harvey may be a familiar name to NFL fans as he famously oversaw the league's appeal against Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott. He also helped develop the league's personal conduct policy and currently sits on its diversity advisory committee.
