FILE - In this Dec. 2, 2014, file photo, National Football League (NFL) Executive Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent becomes emotional as he testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington, before the Senate Commerce Committee hearing on domestic violence in professional sports. For Vincent, the bloody sights and bone-chilling sounds are as raw today as they were when he was an 8-year-old, huddling in a closet with his younger brother while his mother was being beaten by a boyfriend. Rather than repress those memories, the NFL's vice president of football operations is driven to share them. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File)
