Dorial Green-Beckham, a wide receiver whose off-field troubles always overshadowed his incredible talent, has been arrested again.

The Greene County, Missouri, Sheriff’s Office says that Green-Beckham was arrested for possession of less than 35 grams of marijuana, and for resisting/interfering with an arrest. He was booked at 3:18 a.m. today.

The 25-year-old Green-Beckham is a supremely talented 6-foot-5, 237-pound wide receiver who was considered one of the best high school football players in the country, as well as winning Missouri state championships in the 100 meters and triple jump. He then went to Missouri and showed great talent as a true freshman and as a sophomore, but he was kicked off the team after two marijuana-related arrests and an accusation that he pushed a woman down a flight of stairs, although he never faced any criminal charges for that incident.

Green-Beckham transferred to Oklahoma but never played for the Sooners. Despite all the off-field issues, the Titans chose him in the second round of the 2015 NFL draft. He lasted just one season in Tennessee before he was traded to the Eagles, then he lasted just one season in Philadelphia. The Eagles cut him during the 2017 offseason and he didn’t sign on with anyone else. He was arrested for driving while intoxicated later that year.

At age 25, Green-Beckham is likely done in the NFL, as off-field problems continue to mount.
