Henry Ruggs III's NFL career came to a shocking and sudden halt in Nov. 2021 when he crashed his vehicle driving at high speeds into another car, killing the driver and her dog. A toxicology report revealed Ruggs had alcohol in his system at the time above the legal limit.
Ruggs was sentenced to three to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of driving while impaired, resulting in death and one count of vehicular manslaughter. However, he is eligible for parole in the summer of 2026, and his former college teammate Josh Jacobs recently revealed that he is in touch with Ruggs in prison and that the receiver is staying in shape while he hopes for a redemptive return to the NFL.
