Carolina Panthers wide receiver
Dwayne Jarrett has been arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated.
The
Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office lists Jarrett on its web site (
via PFT) as having been arrested at 3 a.m. today.
Jarrett was a disappointment as a rookie second-round draft pick in 2007. He played in seven games, starting none, and caught just six passes for 73 yards, with no touchdowns. In 2008 he's expected to compete with the newly signed
Muhsin Muhammad to be the No. 2 receiver across the field from
Steve Smith.
Some in Carolina hope that
Muhammad will serve as Jarrett's mentor. Let's hope Muhammad can mentor Jarrett in how to avoid off-field trouble -- like the drug and weapons charges that Muhammad was arrested on during his first stint with the Panthers.
