FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A former NFL first-round draft pick has been sentenced to more than a year in prison for taking part in a fraud scheme.

Michael Bennett was sentenced to 15 months on Friday in federal court in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. He pleaded guilty to wire fraud three months ago.

The 34-year-old Bennett was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 2002 and played for six teams, last appearing for the Oakland Raiders in 2010.

Prosecutors say the FBI operated an undercover check-cashing store in North Miami used by Bennett, two other former football players and five others from February through April. The group allegedly cashed about $500,000 in fraudulent tax refund checks.

Former Raiders and New York Giants defensive tackle William Joseph and former Syracuse player Louis Gacheline have also pleaded guilty to related charges and are awaiting sentencing.

Damn, I was hoping it would be LJ.

With his speed I bet he makes it in eight months.

Sad. Met him a couple of times during his cup of coffee in KC. Seemed like a decent guy.

Give it a little time. It will happen.

If you can't pull off using a fake dong on a piss test, you aren't smart enough to pull off an elaborate check forgery scheme.

Former Chief, Turd, and Charger. Only Donkey fans can point fingers at this one.

Well, piss.

He has his own problems

I thought it would be Priest "Nacho" Holmes for medical fraud, stealing from a 7-11 and perjury too.. It'll happen..

When it happens I hope it's for a long time.

After Maurice Clarett? It's going to be a while.

Didn't he play for the gay orange butt pirates as well?
