After a pair of arrests, Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson appeared on track for a suspension from the NFL. However, the league has confirmed that Anderson will not be suspended for any of his legal run-ins, according to Manish Mehta of the Daily News (on Twitter). 
Anderson’s first incident took place in May of last year when he resisted arrest with violence after allegedly getting into a fight at a Florida music festival. Then, in January of this year, Anderson was pulled over for driving 105 mph in a 45 mph zone. The 25-year-old was initially hit with nine charges from that arrest and police say that he threatened to sexually assault the wife of the arresting officer.
Over the summer, Florida prosecutors dropped the felony charges associated with the music festival brawl. Later on, Anderson received six months of non-reporting probation to settle the reckless driving incident.
This is tremendous news for the 1-3 Jets, who can use all the help they can get. As opposing defenses focus on Quincy Enunwa, they’ll need Anderson to exploit weaker coverage. Through one month of football, Enunwa leads the Jets in receiving with 21 grabs for 278 yards and one touchdown. Anderson, meanwhile, has just eight catches for 108 yards and a score.
The Jets – with Anderson in the lineup – will face the Broncos in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday.
Thug life in the nfl at its best.
he’ll be in prison within the next 2 years. he thinks he’s above the law. and his latest punishment, or lack thereof, just reinforces that mindset.

If you don’t like it, don’t watch. Sick and tired of you people composing about the kneeling, off field trouble, etc. I don’t like it either, but if it bothered me as much as it obviously bothers you clowns, then change the damn channel. The only way to send a message is with your dollars, if you people stop watching, or boycott the products supported by the NFL, then you’d make a change. Until you put your money where you’re mouth is, you’ll just be another whiner with no real conviction. Just like the people who are pissed at Nike over kaepernick. They have every right to put whonever they want in their commercials. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it, and at the same time, turn off the NFL, since they make the jerseys. By watching the NFL, you are supporting Nike. Me, myself, I’ll still continue to watch the NFL, as those things you take issue with do not upset me enough to change the channel. But if you have enough of a problem to whine and blog about it, then stop you crybabying and stop watching and go the “F” away!!!!!!!
Don’t I have freedom of speech too there sport?! Typical on your end, but whatever…and to go immediately to the kneeling is interesting as nothing we said mentioned that. I haven’t watched a game in three years, just stumbled across this the other day. So that part of your comment made me laugh. And since you obviously go the political route real quick, your comment makes me assume you lean democrat, if this judge is getting blasted for he said she said assault issues, how can you watch a sport that doesn’t even punish a player for threatening assault on an officer? Just an interesting thought. Can’t have EVERYTHING both ways there slugger…my original comment was strictly at the over abundance of criminal behavior by nfl players. Nothing more nothing less.
