Mom of NFL star injured in brutal attack speaks out against domestic violence

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and this NFL mom is turning her pain into purpose by sharing her story with other women who are suffering.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- October is Domestic Violence Awareness month, and one NFL mom is helping other victims by sharing her personal story.

Sabrina Greenlee describes how hard it is to escape abusive relationships and details one incident that almost cost her life.

"Everyone wears a shade of purple, everyone wears scars," she said. "I wear mine on the outside, you may wear yours on the inside."

Greenlee is the proud mother of NFL All Pro star and former Texans wide receiver Deandre Hopkins.

Though Greenlee is in the stands at every game, she's never watched her son make any of those incredible catches in the NFL.
