Brandon Spikes
Quote:
Spikes was involved in an incident where he attempted to gouge the eyes of Georgia's Washaun Ealey. As a result of this, Florida coach Urban Meyer suspended Spikes for the first half of their next game against Vanderbilt.
On December 10, 2010, prior to the Patriots' Week 14 game against the Chicago Bears, Spikes was suspended four games (the remainder of the 2010 regular season) for a violation of the NFL's banned substances policy,[13] reportedly for an ingredient in Spikes' ADHD medication.
Will Hill
Quote:
On October 8, 2012, the NFL suspended Hill for using the prescription drug Adderall. He was able to return to the Giants' active roster on November 5.[15] Hill was suspended a second time for the first four games of the 2013 season for violating the NFL substance abuse policy; his suspension ended on September 30.[16] Following his second suspension, Hill underwent drug rehabilitation in March and April in Boston, and followed that with outpatient meetings in New Jersey.[17]
On December 21, 2013, Hill was arrested in New Jersey on a warrant for outstanding child support payments.[18] Despite the arrest, Hill still played that Sunday against the Detroit Lions. During the game, he intercepted a pass thrown by Matthew Stafford in the fourth quarter and scored on a 38-yard touchdown to tie the game and force overtime. In overtime, the Giants would go on to win the game by a score of 23-20.
In March 2014, New Jersey police issued a warrant for Hill's arrest for failure to pay child support.[19]
On May 30, 2014, Hill was suspended for the first six games of the 2014 season for violations of the league's substance abuse policy.[20]

Those charged included safety Jamar Hornsby, who was accused of ringing up 70 fraudulent charges in 2008 on a credit card that belonged to a woman who died in a motorcycle crash. He had also been charged with property damage and criminal mischief a year earlier.
Safety Dorian Munroe was charged with felony theft, accused of removing a parking boot affixed to his car. Safety Tony Joiner was charged with breaking into an impound lot to retrieve his girlfriend’s towed car. Defensive end Jermaine Cunningham was arrested after an altercation with an employee at the sandwich shop Jimmy John’s.

The list of the players on the 2008 roster includes Newton, who was charged with stealing a laptop from another Florida student. The authorities said he threw it from a window when the police arrived. The episode led to Newton’s transfer.
Other arrests involved a starting defensive end, Carlos Dunlap, accused of driving under the influence before the conference championship game; a starting cornerback, Janoris Jenkins, charged with resisting arrest; and a substitute running back, Chris Rainey, accused of sending a text message to a former girlfriend that read, in part, “time to die.” (Rainey was arrested in January in Gainesville on battery charges and released by the Pittsburgh Steelers.)
