#3 – Quinnen Williams
Quinnen Williams was drafted by the New York Jets in the hope he would solve their defensive woes. Williams has been an incredible presence in the defensive end position since then, however he has endured some difficult moments off the field.
He was arrested for criminal possession of a weapon in March of 2020, when he was trying to board a flight from LaGuardia Airport. Police stated at the time that while Williams did have a permit for his handgun, the Jets edge-rusher didn’t have the correct paperwork for the gun in New York.

The permit didn’t cover multiple states and thus, Williams was in breach of the law and was arrested at the scene.
The matter would extend all the way to October of the same year, in which Williams avoided any further trouble by taking a plea deal which saw his weapon charges dropped.
Instead, Williams was charged with disorderly conduct, which is considered a violation and not a crime in New York.
Williams was told he had to gain a New York license for his weapon, but all criminal charges against him were dropped.
#2 – Marshon Lattimore
Marshon Lattimore showed a lot of promise as a cornerback for the New Orleans Saints in the NFL. Yet, he too was arrested for possession of a firearm that was deemed illegal.
However, Lattimore’s case was all the more problematic as he was found to be in possession of a weapon that had been stolen.
The incident occurred in Cleveland in 2021 when Lattimore was stopped after reports of a vehicle committing numerous traffic violations.
Upon a search of the car, officers found a loaded Glock 19 handgun, whereas Lattimore, who was a passenger in the vehicle, had a loaded handgun in his possession.
Lattimore plead guilty to the charge of carrying a concealed weapon, but managed to escape any jail time due to the fact that it was only a misdemeanour. Lattimore was then sentenced to one year of probation.
#1 – Nigel Bradham
Nigel Bradham was part of the Philadelphia Eagles team that shocked the NFL by winning the Super Bowl in 2018, defeating the heavily-favoured New England Patriots.
Bradham, representing the Denver Broncos at the time, was pulled over by Florida highway patrol in 2021 due to the fact that his Chevrolet vehicle returned an ‘unassigned’ result on a tag search.
When officers reached the vehicle, the smell of marijuana was clear and this prompted a full search of the car. Inside the car, officers would discover a selection of weed, as well as two handguns.
One of the guns had been reported stolen in Missouri and this was found in the glovebox, while a second handgun was found in a bag of Bradham’s belongings. As of 2022, his NFL career is at an end.
This wasn’t Bradham’s first brush with the law regarding gun possession. Back in 2016, he was arrested at Miami International Airport when TSA employees found a loaded gun in his backpack.
He was arrested on the spot, although no charges came as he showed no criminal intent.
