Chicago Bears receiver Brandon Marshall said the investigation into an alleged assault at a New York City nightclub is not over, but he is confident he will be "cleared of any wrongdoing."

It's not the first off-field incident involving Marshall, which he said makes him even more of a target in public.

"You definitely have to let the judicial system take its course but again this also is one of those things as a result of everything I've been through in the past," Marshall said Monday on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "When you go through things that I've been through it makes you a bigger target. Not only am I an NFL player, I'm an NFL player that has had trouble in the past. Whenever I step out the target on my back is pretty much bigger than 90 percent, 95 percent of the guys in the league because of who I am and what I've been through.

Christin Myles, 24, accused Marshall of striking her at a New York City nightclub and wants him held criminally responsible. Marshall's attorney, Harvey Steinberg, denies that Marshall or his friends were involved in a fight and contends he was trying to leave the club after a scuffle broke out and his wife was hit with a bottle.
