Former NFL All-Pro Robert Quinn is making headlines again after being arrested early on January 10. The 34-year-old defensive standout was charged with reckless driving and leaving the scene of a crash.

The three-time Pro Bowl player spent seven years with the Rams before going on to play for the Dolphins, Cowboys, Bears and Eagles. He last played in the NFL in 2022. 

According to News 2, the arrest followed an incident in which Quinn allegedly crashed his Ford F-150 into another vehicle, causing a chain reaction that involved at least two additional cars in a parking lot in North Charleston. After the crash, police discovered Quinn in the passenger seat of a Dodge Challenger. The woman driving the car told officers that Quinn had contacted her for a ride.

When authorities located him inside the Challenger, Quinn reportedly refused to exit the vehicle. Officers were forced to remove him before taking him into custody. This marks Quinn’s second arrest in recent months, further adding to his legal troubles.

Quinn was an All-Pro choice in 2013 and 2021, and finished his NFL career with 102 sacks, 32 forced fumbles and 109 tackles for loss. He made over $112 million during his time in the NFL.
