Former NFL running back Lawrence Phillips, one of the biggest top-ten first-round busts of all time, has been sentenced to more than 31 years in prison for attacking his girlfriend, and for driving his car into three teens, according to the Associated Press.
The incidents occurred in 2005.
The Rams made Phillips the sixth overall pick in the 1996 draft, eight spots before Eddie George was selected by the Titans.
The quick collapse of Phillips’ career makes the franchise’s ability to win a Super Bowl only three years later even more amazing.
