Ohio State RB Maurice Clarett was arrested in Columbus on the 17th b'day of NFL WR Niles Paul: AUG. 9, 2006. Earlier, then Denver Broncos head coach Mike SHANahan shocked the football world by taking the troubled Clarett with the 101st and final draft pick of day one of the 2005 NFL Draft. With SHANahan as head coach, the Washington Redskins took Paul out of Nebraska with the 155th pick of the 2011 NFL Draft. Out of jail, Clarett now plays where Paul is best known, for the UFL Omaha Nighthawks
