Notre Dame Football: Ex-Irish WR Michael Floyd Faces DUI Charge Feb. 24

Michael Floyd may possibly go from football’s biggest stage to an Arizona jail cell in less than three weeks’ time.

Floyd, a former standout wide receiver for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, was charged Dec. 12 with “super extreme DUI” - which sounds like an “Animal House” reference, but is no laughing matter. Floyd, found passed out behind the wheel of his vehicle, allegedly had a blood alcohol concentration of .217 — 2 12 times the legal limit in Arizona.

The Arizona Cardinals released Floyd, only to see the New England Patriots claim him immediately.
