Former NFL DB Devin Holland charged with murder

BATON ROUGE, La. -- A one-time NFL player was charged with murder in what authorities described as a drug-related killing in Louisiana in 2013.

Devin Holland, 31, was arrested Wednesday in the shooting death of Timothy Pena during an apparent drug deal six years ago, Baton Rogue police said.

The Advocate reported that Holland played football for McNeese State University and Tulane University before signing a contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he played in four games in 2011. He also signed with the Washington Redskins before being released in 2013.
