Well, there's at least one thing he can catch. Bad karma!
NOTE: Thread title should say he was found guilty. He was busted in March.
JERRAMY STEVENS GUILTY OF DUI
The St. Petersburg Times reports that Buccaneers tight end Jerramy Stevens has been found guilty of driving under the influence in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Stevens was arrested in March. He signed with the Bucs in late April.
The one-time first-round pick of the Seahawks now faces up to 30 days in jail. He will be sentenced on October 2.
Stevens also is subject to discipline by the NFL. In April the Personal Conduct Policy was revised to bring within its scope criminal charges relating to alcohol and drug abuse, removing such offenses from the scope of the substance-abuse policy. Given his history, which Commissioner Roger Goodell surely will take into account, Stevens could be facing a suspension of four or more games.
Meanwhile, the Buccaneers have the right under the Standard Player Contract to cut Stevens. But we doubt that they will. In our view, coach Jon Gruden has a "boys will be boys" attitude toward charges of this nature -- especially since both Gruden and his brother Jay, a Bucs assistant coach, have been charged with DUI in the past.
