If you are an undrafted free agent signed by a NFL team you don’t have long to impress them. You have to make an impact quickly before you are kicked to the curb.
Unfortunately for Joiner he will be playing The Longest Yard for while and won’t have that opportunity to impress.
Linebacker Brandon Joiner has been sentenced to three years in prison for two counts of aggravated robbery and one count of felony drug possession. The charges stem from an incident in 2007 when Joiner was playing at Texas A&M.
Joiner and another man forced their way into an apartment and assaulted two men before binding them with duct tape. They stole their wallets, keys, cellphones and marijuana. When police searched Joiner’s home they also found hydrocodone and Ectasy.
He hopes to get out in 6-8 months with good behavior. The Bengals haven’t said if they would still be interested whenever he is release.
Do the crime, you have to do the time.
