PJ Williams of Florida State, Potential 2nd Round Draft Pick, Arrested for DUI

PJ Williams, the Florida State cornerback who was the defensive MVP of the 2014 BCS Championship game, was arrested for DUI at 3:08 this morning.

Williams, who was being talked about as a potential 2nd round pick in the upcoming NFL draft, had a previous incident at FSU in October when he was involved in a late-night car accident and quickly left the scene of the crime with another FSU defensive back, Ronald Darby (he too, is expected to be drafted in the early rounds). The New York Times wrote about that incident:

"The examination found that Mr. Williams, driving with a suspended license, had been given a break by the Tallahassee police, who initially labeled the accident a hit and run, a criminal act, but later decided to issue Mr. Williams only two traffic tickets. Afterward, the case did not show up in the city’s public online database of police calls — a technical error, the police said. Mr. Williams eventually returned to the scene. But Tallahassee officers did not test him for alcohol. Nor did their report indicate whether they asked if he had been drinking or why he had fled — logical questions, since the accident occurred at 2:37 a.m."

Williams visited the Lions last month, and performed well at the FSU pro day recently, running a 4.4 40-yard dash. Williams is the 2nd high profile draft pick to run into problems at the worst possible time: Potential Top 10 pick Randy Gregory failed a drug test at the Combine in February.
