Former University of Michigan quarterback and Jacksonville Jaguars running back Denard Robinson was arrested early Monday morning on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
According to TMZ Sports, a spokesperson for the Ann Arbor Police Department in Ann Arbor, Michigan, said Robinson was arrested near the University of Michigan campus after he was allegedly involved in a single-car crash.
The spokesperson added that potential charges against Robinson "are pending toxicology results."
Robinson, 33, played at Michigan from 2009 to 2012, and he established himself as one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in college football history.
When Robinson graduated, he held the career FBS record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 4,495, although it was later broken by Navy's Keenan Reynolds.
The Jaguars selected Robinson in the fifth round of the 2013 NFL draft and converted him to running back, and he went on to rush for 1,058 yards and five touchdowns in four seasons with the Jags.
Robinson, who was featured on the cover of the EA Sports NCAA Football 14 video game, played one season for the Atlanta Legends of the Alliance of American Football in 2019 after his NFL playing career ended.
More recently, Robinson served as an offensive analyst at Jacksonville University in 2019, followed by an offensive quality control coach for the Jaguars in 2020 and then a scouting assistant for the Jags in 2021.
Since 2022, Robinson has been the assistant director of player personnel at Michigan, and he was part of the staff when his alma mater won a national championship last season.
Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore said in a statement that Robinson has been suspended indefinitely, per TMZ Sports.
Robinson's arrest marks the second time in the past month that someone involved with the University of Michigan football program has been arrested due to an alleged drunk driving offense.
Last month, Greg Scruggs was arrested in Ann Arbor on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated shortly after being hired as the team's defensive line coach.
Scruggs was initially suspended and then resigned from his defensive line coach position shortly thereafter.
