Meet 24 y/o Sheldon Richardson, 2013 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and 2014 Pro Bowler for the York Jets.
On July 2nd, 2015, after the New York Jets had already demoted Sheldon to second string status, he was suspended by the league for four (4) games for violating the NFL’s drug policy. Twelve (12) days later, on July 14th, 2014, Sheldon was arrested in St. Louis, Missouri (that’s his mug shot below) for resisting arrest.
Sheldon was arrested after he attempted to flee from cops who were in pursuit of his Bentley for racing another car in while and reaching speeds up to 143 mph. When police attempted to stop him Sheldon reportedly exited the freeway and parked his Bentley in a nearby driveway. He was caught because he failed to turn of his brake lights. Upon approaching the Bentley cops reported detecting “a very strong odor of burnt marijuana” emanating from inside of the vehicle (which also contained while a fully loaded handgun and 12-year-old child). I suppose that Sheldon could have been more obvious had he tried….
Making matters worse for Sheldon is the fact that he did not, as he was required to do, inform the Jets of his arrest. The team found out in surprise fashion when Sheldon commented on his twelve (12) days earlier failed drug test, and this lapse (his failure to disclose in a timely fashion) could subject Sheldon to further punishment by the NFL.
Personally I’ve been a life-long Dolphin’s fan so Sheldon is irrelevant to my feeling on the {stinking} Jets…
It’s a Miami thing….
Not really. Pretty much everyone but Jet’s fan hate the Jets, even…
Memo to Sheldon Richardson: In regard to your drug suspension I know that you went on record saying: “I can say ‘no’, I just choose not to. It was a depressing time in my off-season, and that’s just that. It’s just that simple “Bro”. There’s money on the line. My money is worth more than some weed.”… BUT anyone can SAY it; until you LIVE it they are just words… “bro”. You are 24 and drive a Bentley. Yeah you are a Jet but whatever… you are still a NFL pro football player, with God-given talent sufficient to have earned you accolades beyond most people’s dreams and what do you do? You squander it. And that’s just plain f’ing pathetic… “Bro”. As Bobby D (playing Lorenzo Anello) said to his son Calogero Anello in “A Bronx Tale”: “The saddest thing in life is wasted talent“. Wake up, grow up and man up… “Bro”.
