DUI’s in the NFL: Is enough being done?

The National Football League has seen its fair share of controversy over the last several years.

There has been cases of domestic violence, Deflategate, drug-related suspensions and investigations and a laundry list of other issues. Through all of this, one major conduct violation has flown under the radar: Driving under the influence.

Some of those accused of a DUI are released from their teams within days of the incident. This happened most recently to now-former Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, who was arrested on Sept. 23, in Tampa for speeding and erratic driving. Seferian-Jenkins was released by the Buccaneers the same day, but was claimed off waivers by the New York Jets less than a week later.
