Today was not a good day for NFL players. Not only was Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain sentenced to 6 months in jail, Jets defensive tackle Kenrick Ellis was sentenced to 3 months in jail stemming from assault charges from an incident while Ellis was still at Hampton University. A 3^rd round pick in 2011, Ellis barely played as a rookie, but could still be a potential successor for an aging Sione Pouha at nose tackle.

Ellis should consider himself lucky that he got 3 months, rather than the 20 years or possible deportation that was being discussed for the Jamaican born Ellis. Ellis will also probably get a suspension from Roger Goodell so he might not play much this season, but the Jets weren’t really counting on him much this year because Sione Pouha is still a capable player.
