Given how much crime NFL players commit with next to no punishment, racing shouldn’t affect his draft stock. 2 misdemeanors are nothing in the NFL.

Its not a misdemeanor in my state. Its vehicular manslaughter. I think hes getting a great deal if they just write him tickets. The average person would get locked up for manslaughter for the racing and leaving the scene gets you even more time. Because hes somebody though, hes getting a pass.

USA Today has an interesting database for this.

You have downvotes but you’re not wrong

My guess is your state is not Georgia.

I think Hes getting off extremely light.

The way I would respond to this is to you should probably look at what the state statute says and decide if that's the case. You can't apply one states law to another state.

Ge is being charged with a misdemeanor because that's all Georgia State Law willl allow.

It’s vehicular manslaughter to be racing when the other car you are not in wrecks and kills someone?

Yes. We got a guy in the car scene here that got seven years for it. Got more time for leaving the scene too. The laws arent the same everywhere, but i think a couple tickets is getting off light.

I'd draft him if I had a crystal ball that showed me this kind of behavior is behind him. Otherwise no thanks, not risking a top 5 pick to end up in a henry ruggs situation.

Kareem Hunt seems to walk the line since his hotel incident. All though his career never really recovered from that.

Well he only got charged with 2 misdemeanors. Athletes and celebrities in general always get away with stuff.

Oh that’s awesome. Thank you for that link.

I’m remembering the recent idiot who rammed his corvette into the parked car and let the keys and her dog burn to death.

Hes not right either though. Just because it could be manslaughter in his state doesn't mean it is in Georgia.

I don't think a draft eligible athlete would get a pass on something as big as manslaughter. If anything he would be charged, but then charges dropped as part of a plea, much like Dany Heatley.

I think he didn’t kill anyone so he obviously shouldn’t get a manslaughter charge. He did not slaughter anyone.

Because he never got a starting backfield all to himself. That is incredibly hard to come by these days.
