The NFL is seeing one of their former players have their life turned upside down after he was arrested on some extremely disturbing charges. The full details of the case are still being reported on, but former Baltimore Ravens third round draft pick Jay Graham has found himself in serious legal trouble.
Here is what we know.
“Prostitution Sting” Arrests Former NFL Star Jay Graham and He Loses Everything
Jay Graham, former Tennessee running back, received concerning news this week:
Graham played at Tennessee from 1993-1996, rushing for 2,609 yards and 25 touchdowns. He was then drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the third round of the 1997 NFL Draft. The North Carolina native also played for the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers during his pro career, racking up 558 yards from scrimmage.
Over the past two decades, Graham has coached at Tennessee, Chattanooga, UT Martin, Miami (OH), South Carolina, Florida State, Texas A&M, Alabama and East Tennessee State. His latest stint was at Centennial High School in Nashville.
Centennial High School has fired Graham during his first year on the job, according to OutKick. That’s because of his concerning situation off the field.
According to WKRN, Graham and two others were arrested this Wednesday in a prostitution sting.
The Metro Nashville Police Department announced that Graham was charged with “patronizing prostitution with a minor and solicitation of a minor for aggravated statutory rape.” The former Tennessee running back allegedly engaged in a conversation with an undercover cop who was posing as a juvenile.
“Graham and the undercover officer agreed on a price of $120 for sex, and Graham went to a Nashville hotel room,” the report from WKRN states. “There, he gave the undercover officer $120 and was immediately taken into custody, according to the MNPD.”
Counseling will be available at Centennial this Thursday for students impacted by this situation.
Graham’s bond has been set at $45,000, per the Metro Nashville Police Department.
