Breaking: NFL Stud Who Played For 7 Different Teams Has Bail Set At $500k (Report)

The NFL has learned of some troubling news regarding one former player who spent time with seven different organizations.  Previously, he played for the Ohio State Buckeyes where he received multiple All-Big Ten Awards.

Breaking: NFL Stud Who Played For 7 Different Teams Has Bail Set At $500k (Report)

In the aftermath of a fatal car accident that occurred over the weekend, former Ohio State lineman Kirk Barton is facing a number of serious charges:

According to police, the former All-American was driving his pickup truck well over the speed limit before striking another vehicle around 3 AM on Saturday morning — killing the other driver who was just 24 years old.

Barton reportedly suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was placed in police custody and transferred to jail after being discharged from the hospital.

He faces a second-degree felony charge for aggravated vehicular homicide while driving under the influence. Which, if convicted, carries a mandatory prison sentence of 2-8 years.

Barton was arraigned on Monday morning and bail was set at $500,000 ahead of his preliminary court hearing on the first of the month.

Following a standout career with the Buckeyes, the all-conference lineman was a seventh round pick in 2008 NFL Draft but only appeared in one game in his pro career after bouncing around between the Bears, Dolphins, 49ers, Bengals, Lions, Broncos and Panthers in various camps and practice squad stints.

He then went on to co-found the website Buckeye Scoop, which has since been banned by Ohio State’s athletic department for using unauthorized practice footage to do its reporting.

This also isn’t Barton’s first run-in with the law since leaving Columbus. Back in 2018, he was arrested for assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest at a golf complex in Dublin, OH.
