Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Titus Young's NFL career fell apart because of repeated arrests. His problems have continued since the Lions cut the former second-round pick in 2013. 
Young was arrested in Los Angeles on July 9 on a felony charge of battery with serious bodily injury, according Deputy Amber Smith from the Los Angeles County Sherriff's Department. Mia Torres of the LA District Attorney's office also informed NFL Media that Young faces a separate count of battery on school, park, or hospital property. His bail was set at $105,000 and he is in custody at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility.
Young, 24, faced eleven charges, including four charges of felony burglary and assault charge, stemming from incidents in May of 2013. Lawyers have delayed Young's legal process as he sought medical treatments, according to the Detroit Free Press. Young had a Monday morning court date set at a Compton, California Courthouse.

He could have been better than a solid slot guy, he was incredibly dynamic in his short career.  I think he could have had a career similar to Steve Smith.  I honestly feel really bad for the guy.  I don't think this is a Charles Rogers or Josh Gordon situation where Young just straight up didn't give a single shit and did whatever he wanted despite the consequences.  Young has problems upstairs that he needs professional help with.

If he goes to prison he'll be a really solid slot guy again.

Eh, I never saw much in Titus Young. Thought his skill level was overstated

Did you watch many of his 17 Lions starts?
