Ex-NFL receiver Reche Caldwell in running for worst criminal ever (Shutdown Corner)

Reche Caldwell was a fair-to-middling NFL wide receiver. But as a criminal, he was truly awful.

In a lengthy takeout feature, ESPN has detailed the strange crime spree that followed Caldwell's career in the league for seven years. Let's just say that he might not have been special on the field, but he certainly was better at that than he was trying to break the law.

Although Caldwell's post college peak came when he became Tom Brady's most trusted receiver on the 2006 New England Patriots, it was one of the least-talented groups Brady ever threw to — and yet that team still almost made the Super Bowl that year.
