Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson was arrested at a music festival in Miami on Sunday, a source tells Andy Slater of 940-AM WINZ (Twitter link). The Jets have issued the standard statement on the matter.

“We are aware of the situation,” the Jets’ spokesman told Ralph Vacchiano of SNY. “This is a pending legal matter and we will have no further comment at this time.”
Anderson is being charged with a felony count of resisting arrest with violence and obstruction of justice after an incident at the Rolling Loud Music Festival. Details are sparse at this time, but it is believed that Anderson was “on or backstage at the time” of the fracas, Slater writes.
Anderson, who turns 24 on Tuesday, was one of the Jets’ few bright spots in 2016. In his rookie year, he had 42 catches, 587 yards, and two touchdowns, a solid showing for an undrafted free agent. Anderson is projected to take on a larger role in the Jets’ offense this season following Brandon Marshall‘s defection, but this incident may lead to league discipline that keeps him off the field for a period in 2017.
Probably wasn’t the smartest thing to do when the Jets just used a three and a four on wide receivers.
It’s the NFL, if the player can contribute on the field a little thing like an arrest don’t matter.
He was at a music festival called “rolling loud” with the recent weed crack down in the NFL. Wonder is Gordon was there 2
