He gave a sound apology and followed up by donating his first game check to the Dallas PD. Again it looks like he's kept clean since becoming a pro.

I don't want a guy that thinks it's a good idea to post that pic of a cop getting his throat slit on social media. That's not being "clean".
Pretty funny though that Crowell and Hyde have almost identical career numbers. Same yards per carry, touchdowns, similar rushing yards(Crowell has slightly more), similar receiving stats and TDs. But Crowell isn't expected to make nearly as much as Hyde.
"On Monday, Crowell issued the following apology through the club and on his Twitter account:
"Last week was an emotional and difficult week as we saw extreme acts of violence against black men across our country as well as against police officers in Dallas,'' he wrote. "I posted an image to Instagram in the midst of that emotion that I shouldn't have and immediately removed it. It was an extremely poor decision and I apologize for that mistake and for offending people.
"My values and beliefs do not match that image. I am outraged and upset by the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile along with so many others. I am also outraged and saddened by the attacks in Dallas and the deaths of the five honorable police officers (Lorne Ahrens, Michael Krol, Michael J. Smith, Brent Thompson and Patrick Zamarripa) who were providing protection while trying to keep peace.
We have to be better as a society, it's not about color, it's about what's right and wrong. I was very wrong in posting that image. Every single life matters, every death as a result of violence should be treated with equal outrage and penalty.''
