Arizona Cardinal rookie first round linebacker, Zaven Collins, has been arrested and booked for reckless driving. The following is from TMZ:
Arizona Cardinals linebacker Zaven Collins — a 1st-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft — was arrested Sunday night after cops say he was driving recklessly, TMZ Sports has confirmed.
The 22-year-old — who was taken by the Cards with the #16 overall pick — was stopped by officers in AZ after cops say he was speeding and driving dangerously.
We’re working on further details regarding the incident ... but a jail official tells us Collins was booked Sunday night and released a short time later.
We’ve reached out to Collins’ reps, the Cardinals and the NFL for comment ... but so far, no word back yet.
Cardinals rookie LB Zaven Collins was arrested Sunday morning in Scottsdale for "excessive speed and reckless driving.” He was driving 76 mph in a 35-mph zone just north of Old Town Scottsdale. He was arrested and booked, and then released later in the day.
