Patriots cornerback Joejuan Williams was arrested for drug possession on Friday night, according to CBS4 in Boston. Per Michael Giardi of the NFL Network (citing the Tennessean), police found acetaminophen hydrocodone prescription pills, valacyclovir hydrocodone pills, a large amount of marijuana, hand-rolled marijuana cigarettes, and illegal paraphernalia inside Williams’ SUV (Twitter link).

Williams, who just turned 22 in December, was selected out of Vanderbilt in the second round of last year’s draft. The Patriots and other clubs were tantalized by his combination of size (he stands at 6’4″) and tough playing style in the lead-up to April. In his first pro season, he was used sparingly, appearing in just nine games with four tackles in total, with more snaps on special teams than on defense.
And, given the variety and nature of the drugs found in Williams’ possession, he will almost certainly face a suspension from the league. When the new collective bargaining agreement is finalized, it is expected to be more lenient on marijuana use, and that could be a factor when the NFL doles out punishment. But if Williams did not have a prescription for the pills, that could be a bigger problem for him.
Williams’ arrest comes shortly after word of Julian Edelman‘s run-in with the law. The wide receiver was arrested earlier this month after allegedly jumping on the hood of someone else’s Mercedes. Both players could be subject to league discipline once their legal matters are wrapped up.
Who?
I can’t for the life of me figure out why people still think this is funny. And if you’re being serious, that’s just as bad because it proves you can’t read since it’s all written there for you.
It’s literally a joke to reference how unimportant he is bc he hardly plays.
But most jokes require at least a semblance of wit or originality. The labored and irksome “who” sarcastic quip has never boasted either.
I’m already massively disappointed that there hasn’t yet been a “no happy ending!” “joke” made on this story…
People are slacking around here.
I think they all went for a massage.
I thought “who” was funny
Patriots cornerback Joejuan Williams.
Hands up, boy. We have a stick one first name limit in this town.
Strict. Damn it
dont get out much huh?
Don’t talk to your kids much huh?
Tough when you don’t know if it was that night with Joe or Juan, so you come up with JoeJuan…
Tell that to Tom Brady.
Brady is going to leave, Edelman arrested and now the cornerback too…
Pats look to be sinking …
Another second round defensive back washes out for the Patriots. I do not understand why they keep using these picks on db’s who can’t play and pass on tight ends. They have far more success finding db’s as undrafted free agents like Malcolm Butler, JC Jackson and J. Jones. At least this year they don’t have a second round pick. Watch them trade back into round two so they can draft yet another washout dB.
Malcolm Butler is a no good thief. Hated by all Seahawk fans.
That is kind of a joke.
That pass play wasn’t a bad call. They were more than likely going to have to pass once in that series of downs. The pass was poor. It led Butler too much and was too high. If Wilson would have thrown it closer and not led him so much and at the waist to knees it wouldn’t have been intercepted.
That is why all the D was so mad. There was a faction that didn’t like Wilson and they felt he lost them a SB ring. It was led by Bennett. He was a pain the whole time he was here. The Vegas incident showed him for what he is.
I don’t understand why everyone still blames the play call and not the execution. Is Wilson so infallible they don’t want to blame him? It was his fault he threw a pass that could be intercepted.
Truth!!!!
So they should have run the ball, you are saying.
When it rains, it pours…
Who is this guy? I couldn’t pick him out of a lineup
Stupid. If you are going to be carrying drugs, don’t speed. Or, if you want to do 120 on a highway, leave the drug kit at home.
This is what our society has been reduced to. Overpaid children sporting drugs and expensive cars thinking they’re more entitled than ever before. Football fans living and dying by their teams weekly results. We’ve lost touch with what’s really important in life. I guess as the saying goes “you can’t fix stupid.”
