Report: Rams draft pick to be arraigned for April altercation

The Rams in the 2016 NFL Draft decided to load up on offense.

"Offense was the priority for us," coach Jeff Fisher said in a press conference following the draft.

One of those selections, however, needs to tend to a legal issue.

Fourth-round pick Tyler Higbee, a 6-foot-6 tight end out of Western Kentucky, is set to be arraigned Thursday, according to USA TODAY Sports.
