Federal prosecutors say former Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood went from scoring touchdowns to scoring fraudulent COVID-19 relief loans.

According to court documents, Smallwood allegedly conspired with others to apply for fraudulent Personal Paycheck Protection funds and then received kickbacks ranging from $4,000 to $12,000. In all, nearly $270,000 in fraudulent PPP funds were allegedly obtained.

“A lot of people like him are foolish because they thought they weren’t going to check on their credentials on the forms and all these other things they submit,” said high-profile defense attorney Chuck Peruto.
