Unfortunately, several NFL players have gone on to become felons. Many of them committed crimes while being on the roster of an NFL team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dwayne Lewis Goodrich who played for the Dallas Cowboys did just that. Goodrich played college at the University of Tennessee under Phillip Fulmer. He joined the Cowboys after being drafted in 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, Goodrich experienced several injuries during his short career. In February of 2003, he was involved in a hit and run that ended the lives of two individuals and was promptly arrested for vehicular manslaughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Witnesses claimed Goodrich was driving 100 MPH when he hit and killed two motorists who were trying to help rescue a man escape his burning vehicle on a Dallas freeway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goodrich would eventually serve eight years before being released from prison in October 2011. Finally, there is Ray Lewis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lewis is best known for playing middle linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens. He played with the team during his entire 17-year career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ray would eventually plead guilty to obstruction of justice in relation to the stabbing deaths of two men in 2000. The next season, he would be named NFL Defensive Player of the Year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a Super Bowl party, a fight occurred between Lewis, his companions, and another group. During that fight, Richard Lollar and Jacinth Baker were stabbed to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph Sweeting and Reginald Oakley would be questioned by police, and the three men would be indicted 11 days later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The white suit Ray was wearing that night was never found, and some argue that the suit was dumped in a garbage bin outside a nearby fast-food restaurant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, the murder charges against Lewis were dismissed, but he would need to testify against Oakley and Sweeting. He also pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice.<\/p>\n\n\n
