Bills nose tackle Marcell Dareus sent out an interesting message to his 43,000 Instagram followers on Wednesday morning. Dareus—who was suspended for the first four games of the 2016-17 NFL season after reportedly missing a drug test—appeared to post a photo of himself along with a caption that said this:

The post is somehow still up, but we don't expect it to stay up for much longer so here's a screenshot:

Marcell Dareus's Instagram is hacked.

Dareus has already tried to distance himself from the post. A short time after it went up, he used his Twitter account to let everyone know that he had been hacked. He also explained that he was in the process of trying to regain control of his IG account:

Dareus, the third overall pick in the 2011 draft, has played in only two games for the Bills so far this season. Last September, he signed a six-year contract extension, which, with incentives, could be worth more than $95 million. And even without any incentives, his contract includes $60 million in guaranteed money. But since serving his four-game suspension at the start of the season, he has missed four more games due to injury. So it seems some Bills fan out there has had enough and decided to hack into his social media account to express frustration with Dareus' lack of production.

This is just the latest example of an NFL player enduring a social media hack. Darelle Revis, Laremy Tunsil and even the NFL itself have been hacked in recent years. Make sure you keep those passwords under lock and key, fellas.
