Former Broncos second-round pick and Super Bowl champion Cody Latimer has had an interesting NFL career, to say the least. He was a young wide receiver who played sparingly in Denver during Peyton Manning’s last Super Bowl 50 victory, played with the Giants for the last two years and then had a career year in all major statistical categories in 2019.

Latimer parlayed his season into a deal with the Washington Redskins earlier this spring. He could have been looking at an expanded role in the nation’s capital, but all of that came to a screeching halt after Latimer was arrested following what is understood to be a poker game gone wrong.

Latimer was highly intoxicated during the night, per official records. After the host of the game asked everyone to leave his apartment, Latimer departed only to return approximately 30 minutes later with a firearm.

The Redskins receiver faces felony charges after firing off shots following the argument at the poker game. The list of charges includes second-degree assault and reckless endangerment.

We don't yet know how serious Latimer’s punishment will be, but the details at hand don't do much to help his case. He was released on a $25,000 bond following the incident, but with three felonies and two additional misdemeanors charges staring him down, Latimer, who had his first scheduled court hearing earlier today, is setting off on a hard road.
