Getty ImagesOrson Charles, a Georgia tight end who is considered one of the top prospects at his position in the NFL draft, was arrested early this morning and charged with DUI.
Charles’s name is listed on the Athens-Clarke County Jail booking log, and the student newspaper at the University of Georgia confirms that the Orson Charles who was arrested is the same Orson Charles who was an All-SEC tight end at Georgia.
Charles left Georgia early to enter this year’s draft and is listed as the No. 1 tight end prospect by Mike Mayock.
For NFL teams, the question will now be this: If Charles can’t stay out of trouble during the couple of months before the draft, when he knows he’s being closely scrutinized by the NFL world, will he be able to stay out of trouble after he’s drafted?

Just plain stupid.
boob.
Damn man, why couldt you have waited untill after the draft!!
Lucky he didnt have the same outcome as Donte Stallworth. Top TD prospect now also a TURD.
No worse than when Pettigrew beat up a cop and he turned out just fine.
That’s like losing a lottery ticket. What a dumb arse!
Haaaaaa, he also has another charge of driving “Minimum Speed”. What an idiot.
Son, you’re gonna have to do better than that.
I wonder what this will do to his stock. Will it drop him down to the #2 or 3 TE picked? Or will it drop him down to round 6-7.
It amazes me that some of these kids cant keep clean for a few months, when the biggest job opportunity of your life is about to present itself.
No common sense.
Well, he can forget playing for the Giants, that is certain.
Also, In that same exact jail, there is a Michael David Smith. Arrested for “LOITERING/PROWLING”. Coincidence? I think not…
Idiot
oops!
Wow! That’s all – just wow! smh
“What do you want me to do? Take the bus? You take the bus”
Welcome to Cincinnati Mr. Charles.
Athletes are so stupid! How much will this cost this dude?
Bummer…..
Stupid, stupid, stupid!! Guy probably just cost himself a few million due to draft contract slotting. If there was ever a time to maintain a low profile for a potential draftee, it is between the combine and the draft.
Yikes.
There’s always one, every year.
He’s gonna make a perfect NFL playa. These are the attributes and core values alot of teams look for that the combine and interviews just can’t show.
Clearly he can’t, but hey, there are always teams like the bengals where character doesn’t matter that much.
galaxy-class dumbass
Haha
Nice work.
Must feel like throwing away the winning lotto ticket. Dumb*ss.
he just hurt his stock
Are the bengals looking for a tigh end?
How dumb can you get?
This kid has 2 jobs: to stay in shape and to stay out of trouble. How hard is it to find a driver? Especially when your a month away from signing a multi million dollar contract? Idiot.
Well it appears that this could drop Orson from a late 1st/2nd rounder to a 3rd – 4th rounder. I still do think the Falcons will take him in the 3rd.
Wow. That’s a whole ‘nother level of stupid.
Face palm.
Looks like some team will get a steal on him now.
Sound you just heard is millions down the toilet.
Maybe PFT can expand it’s “Turd watch” section to include incoming rookies
Plain stupid! Are some of these kids really smart enough to get through college on their own, or is it because they are great on the field?
real shocker there, this kid has been in and out of prison his whole life
D’oh!
Can’t the guy wait. He’s not even a Bengal yet.
He’ll fit in nicely with Oakland.
Goodell has a history of suspending draft picks for their pre-draft behavior (Frostee Rucker for one). Wonder how many games he’ll get.
What the hell is it with Georgia Bulldogs doing stupid things and getting in trouble with the law? I’m a Georgia fan, but I’m starting to get really annoyed with the lack of professionalism by many of the players.
Doesn’t Cincinnati already have a TE?
