Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley picked up a DUI early Sunday morning after attempting to allude a Mobile, Alabama police cruiser.
The 291 lb. rookie was a first round draft pick by Detroit last year, signing a four-year contract worth $10 million with a $5.7 million signing bonus.
The athlete, 24, was charged yesterday with reckless driving, driving under the influence, open container and no proof of insurance.
Nick, a 2010 Lombardi Award-winner while playing for Auburn University, was released from jail after posting bond against bail set at $1,750.
He is but one of four 2011 draft picks to run afoul of the law and the Lions organization. Running back Mikel Leshoure and offensive tackle Johnny Culbreath have both picked up tickets for possession of marijuana. Receiver Titus Young sucker-punched Louis Delmas during a workout earlier this month and has been banned from off-season team activities.
This is Fairley’s second arrest in the past two months. He was picked up on April 3 in Mobile and charged with possession of marijuana. Check out that mug shot below:
