Derrick Ward criticizes NFL players for drinking and driving

Retired running back Derrick Ward is fed up with the recent rash of NFL player arrests, especially those involved in drunken-driving incidents.

Ward, who played for the New York Giants, Houston Texans and Tampa Bay Buccaneers over eight seasons, posted a string of tweets Saturday, admonishing players who drink and drive. In the past two weeks alone, four alcohol-related arrests have been made involving NFL players, including Kenny Britt and Marshawn Lynch.
