The Denver Broncos have had 19 players arrested in the last seven seasons, the most in the NFL, according to data collected by USA Today.
In all, there have been 321 arrests of NFL players since the end of the 2009 season. The charges range all over the board, including things as minor as driver's license violations to charges much more serious, including Aaron Hernandez' arrest for murder. In many cases the charges were later dropped.
Here are the number of arrests for each team over the last seven years. You can see the entire arrest database over at USA Today.

They are notorious wife beaters... starting with OJ Simpson...
Thugs will be thugs, even when they’re being paid millions of dollars to play ball for a living.
Not their fault,CTE is the blame
Geez... Simple arithmetic works out to nearly one arrest per week over the last seven years.
Dead.
Whats CTE?
There were several arrests with the Bronco Cheerleaders a few years ago so they were disbanded for a while. How many Cheerleaders and refs were arrested in this time period?
Football players.
Today’s American heros!
This should be how we start keeping records on sports - how many times they go to jail, how many games they lose, how many fumbles they make - they’re no perfect, and nobody should forget it......
So basically they are going down on a knee because they are tired of being arrested. We are tired of them breaking the law. And they are tired of being caught. So its the countries fault that they were driving without a license, drunk, with pot and an unregistered hand gun in the glove box, and being belligerent to the cop. What a stupid racist country we have.
You will labor long and hard to define any other group of millionaires that as a group has as much trouble with the law.
yes it does but dont let facts get in the way of foryourchildren’s threads :)
it’s already statistically known they have lower average offenses as a whole compared to the public in their age group.
Now that baseballers are kneeling i wonder if all the whiney bitches here who are so dying to see football collapse will ban their children from watching the world series.
BTW, the Jets won today and I didn’t see it. Dont care. 40 year fan. Can’t watch it.
let’s see what the big mouths out there do with baseball.
I expect to see 50 threads about that sport every day here. Or these folks are hypocrites.
Outstanding post! You are on a roll DP!

I could see someone organizing a Fantasy Football league around crime stats rather than on-the-field stats.
I got dibs on the Raiders!
