Ex-NFL CB Terence Newman arrested hours after he was honored by Kansas State for going into the College Football Hall of Fame
Newman played at Kansas State from 1999 through 2002 and was a first-team All-American as a senior.
Renowned former NFL cornerback Terence Newman was taken into custody in Manhattan, Kansas, just hours after receiving an honorary recognition from his former college, Kansas State, for his imminent induction into the College Football Hall of Fame. At 48 years old, Newman was arrested around midnight on Saturday, charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly brawling with staff at a local bar and restaurant.
The incident reportedly took place following the conclusion of a football game between Kansas State and Kansas, which commenced at 11 a.m. local time. Newman, who was an All-American and the 2002 Big 12 defensive player of the year during his senior year, had a stellar career, returning a kickoff for a touchdown and two punts for touchdowns in 2002.
He was selected with the fifth overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys and was a two-time Pro Bowl selection in 2007 and 2009. After nine years with Dallas, he played for the Cincinnati Bengals and Minnesota Vikings for three years before retiring at the end of the 2017 season. Newman amassed 42 career interceptions and returned three for touchdowns throughout his NFL tenure.
He will join a prestigious College Football Hall of Fame class that also includes Aaron Donald, Marvin Harrison, Ndamukong Suh, Peter Warrick, and Eric Weddle.
