Back in the 2018 NFL Draft, many Detroit Lions fans clamored for running back Derrius Guice to be the team’s pick. The Lions passed on Guice, instead taking Kerryon Johnson with the No. 43 pick. Guice eventually came off the board at No. 59 overall to Washington.
It seems the Lions made a smart choice.
Guice was dumped by the Washington Football Team on Friday, hours after he was arrested on a disturbing set of charges stemming from a domestic violence incident in suburban Virginia. Guice faces one count of felony strangulation, three counts of assault and battery and one count of destruction of property.
The Football Team released an official statement upon terminating Guice,
Playing in only five games over his two seasons in Washington, Guice ran for 245 yards on 42 carries. Over half his production came in one game, a Week 13 win over Carolina.
