A heck of an athlete, but I've always said that he isn't going to last long with his intelligence and attitude.
As for him being a bad teammate? This definitely provides a valid argument for that. Whether you think it should be legal or not, it's still the law of the land, and DGB isn't putting his team first when he gets arrested. Avoiding it altogether shouldn't be a huge deal when you're 16 months away from a multi-million dollar payday.

DGB's story apparently is that he went out with some friends and had no idea one of the friends had the drugs/etc. in the back of the vehicle (police did not find it until searching the vehicle).
If that is true, this is neither a sign of stupidity (in terms of being around drugs) or being a bad teammate. The worst thing it is a sign of is hanging around old friends that you shouldn't.
It sounds like - from the quote from the Sprinfield police officer who said "probably not involved with what they thought he was" when asked about the release, and from what his parents have said they expect to happen - the police who investigated this believe that story.
Is it true? I don't know, and no one ever will likely know if it is the truth.
We'll all know a heck of a lot more tomorrow, if the Springfield PD sticks to its timeline. If the driver is charged and the others are not, pretty clear what the police think happened here.
And at that point, a non-story. He MAYBE gets a one-game, non-conference suspension.
