Notre Dame WR Michael Floyd DUI (1 Viewer)

[Heep]

For all my fellow Developmental player leagues, this is pretty interesting news. Being charged with DUI and he had blood on his shirt from a fight at a party. This is his second run-in with the law at ND. I bet he's glad he came back for his senior season!

Michael Floyd DUI

The reference to the blood on his shirt was from his first incident when he was in Minneapolis, not this latest one.

Michael Floyd DUI

Word here is it was OWI..........he didnt blow over a .8 level.

 

[_lurker_]

Supplemental draft now?

 

[Kimbo Slice]

The Chicago Tribune is reporting

As such, his chances to play in 2011 may rest in the hands of Notre Dame's student judiciary arm, the Office of Residence Life, which could issue a penalty as stiff as an expulsion that would cost Floyd his senior year.

This would make him eligible for the Supplemental Draft ala Ahmad Brooks, UVA LB from 2006.

For reference, the past two football players cited for alcohol related violations were suspended for the semesters in which the offense occurred. By the time this makes it through the legal system, there will be only around two weeks left in the spring semester. It's possible they could suspend him for the summer semester (delaying his graduation) and then allow him to play in the fall (provided Kelly doesn't apply a football suspension in the fall). ResLife at ND can be unpredictable, but expect a harsh punishment in comparison to other schools.

He got charged with an OWI which I thought was what Tampa Mike got after blowing below a 0.8, but Floyd more than doubled that at .19 BAC.http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2011/03/reports-irish-wr-floyd-arrested-on-dui-charge.html

In January, after Michael Floyd elected to bypass the NFL and return to Notre Dame for his senior season, his coach effusively labeled him a "six-star" recruit.A couple months later, Floyd may be decommitted, involuntarily.The team's leading receiver was arrested early Sunday on an "operating while intoxicated" charge after allegedly running a stop sign and registering a .19 on a breath test -- more than twice the legal limit in Indiana -- according to documents released by prosecutors.Floyd also has a Jan. 2010 citation in lieu of arrest for underage drinking in Minneapolis on his record. As such, his 2011 season may rest in the hands of Notre Dame's student judiciary arm, the Office of Residence Life, which could issue a penalty as stiff as an expulsion that would cost Floyd his senior year.Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly is expected to issue a comment on Floyd's situation Monday afternoon.Floyd was booked in St. Joseph County jail at 4:06 a.m. on Sunday, according to Sgt. Bill Redman, brought in by Notre Dame police on the OWI charge.According to county prosecutors, a Notre Dame security police officer witnessed a white Cadillac run a stop sign at Notre Dame Avenue and Holy Cross Drive. Floyd failed three field sobriety tests and then agreed to take a breath test, prosecutors said.He registered a .19 on the breath test, according to prosecutors, more than twice the legal limit of .08. He was arrested at 3:18 a.m. for the OWI charge, a Class A misdemeanor that carries a possible penalty of imprisonment for not more than one year.Floyd was jailed and then released on $500 bond about seven hours later, Redman said. His next court date is set for May 2.Notre Dame spokesman Dennis Brown issued a general statement saying the school was aware of the situation:"The University is aware of this incident and is confident that local law enforcement agencies will handle it in a prompt, thorough and professional manner. As for internal discipline, while we do not publicly discuss specific cases, it is well known that Notre Dame has high standards for student conduct, takes these matters seriously, follows the facts where they lead, and, when necessary, institutes appropriate sanctions at the appropriate time."Floyd led the Irish with 79 receptions as a junior, and had been named captain along with safety Harrison Smith for 2011. Notre Dame is set to begin spring practice Wednesday, and Kelly was expected to have a news conference to discuss spring ball sometime Tuesday, when he may or may not expand on the statement he releases today.

The reason Floyd was not in the draft is because he got a 3rd round grade from the advisory committee. I have no real evidence to support or not how accuarate that body is, but the idea Floyd is some clear first round talent is highly flawed. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/03/21/supplemental-draft-could-include-notre-dames-michael-floyd-2/

From The Sporting News:If Floyd enters the '11 Supplemental Draft, he likely would be a first-round pick.

If Floyd had entered the regular draft, he likely would have been the third wide receiver drafted April 28, following Georgia's A.J. Green and Alabama's Julio Jones as first-round picks.

Who does Russ Lande draft for again? BTW, this was in the linked article.

 

[Steed]

This is actually Floyd's 3rd alcohol related incident. He had another in may 2009. No way a team spends a 1st on a guy with that kind of liability attached, though i agree minus those issues he has that kind of talent.

 

[g5jamz]

Why wouldn't you use a supplemental draft pick on a flier like Floyd?

Buy low. Carolina would have first crack at this. When will we know if he's entering the supplemental.

 

[jdswan922]

I think (though I am not sure) that if a team uses a supplemental pick they lose the pick in the equivalent round of the next year, so a team like Carolina would be making a huge mistake taking him with the 1st pick. He would probably go in the 3rd round or so, where he is a good deal/risk. I like the talent, but fear the injury bug.

 

[g5jamz]

Ah...I understand.

didn't know specifics on rule.

So if he doesn't draft for anyone, then his opinion on where he thinks a player will or should be drafted is meaningless? OK.

My tone was probably harsher than I meant, but For me, at least, while I even like Lande well enough, I take the word of the body conected somewhat to the NFL over any draftspert. Floyd has production at a major college with good size, but there are questions (especially since he might be an alcoholic) that anybody making definitives about his status as a first rounder is probably ignoring.

 

[griff321]

Now he can return home and I can watch Gray and Floyd tear it up for a year. ROSE BOWL BABY!

.... I can dream right.

So, for the commishes out there, will Floyd be eligible to draft in your leagues' rookie drafts, if he declares for the Supplemental Draft?

(keeping in mind that most leagues rookie drafts are in May-June, and the NFL Supplemental Draft isn't until July)

http://www.mockingthedraft.com/2011/3/21/2064689/assessing-michael-floyds-nfl-supplemental-draft-value

I found the above site trying to determine if there will be a Supplemental draft?

So, what happens if there is indeed no CBA in place by July, or August? Is the guy forced to sit out for an extended period of time. Looks like his future depends on:

-ND suspension-Is it lifted, and does he gain re-instatement? If not....

-Then he needs for a new CBA in place, by a July timeframe. -Although, I imagine A supplemental draft could be put together in August, perhaps hastily?

I think ND suspends him for at least 4 games, if not longer and just kicks him out. i would not be surprised if Kelly sends a message here

This is why I like one of the leagues I play in. First three rounds held straight after the draft, final three rounds held just before the season starts.I've got the 4.01 and would be quite happy to take a flier on him there.

From our dynasty league (jaWs) constitution...Whenever the NFL has a Supplemental Draft, jaWs will also have their own Supplemental Draft approximately 1 week later (During off-season the bid deadline will be 12pm EST one week after the NFL Supplemental Draft. During in-season the bid deadline will be 12pm EST on Saturday of the following week after the NFL Supplemental Draft). The jaWs Supplemental Draft will be done by private bids sent to the Commissioner via email (Commissioner sends any private bids to Asst. Commissioner via email prior to deadline). Bids for a player can be made using the team's following season's draft picks still owned (any picks acquired/lost through trade are not eligible to be bid). Highest bid gets the player and loses the pick that was bid. Value of the following season’s picks will be based on the timeframe of the NFL Supplemental Draft. If occurs during off-season or in-season between wk #1 thru #7, than the pick value will be based on the past season’s standings. If occurs in-season between wk #8 thru #16, than the pick value will be based on the present season’s standings. If a Supplemental player is acquired during wk #14 thru #16 (our post-season), the player will be frozen and the team will receive a roster exemption.

Yesterday was the first day of spring practice for ND and it also was the day that ND fans were curious to see where Brian Kelly would move players around to new positions. He had indicated he'd do so in year two after reviewing the players during year one. One move that he'd openly discussed all winter and spring was to move Theo Riddick back to RB from becoming a starting WR opposite Floyd.

Yesterday it was revealed that Riddick would stay at WR. What that means for the long term is uncertain, but it's definitely a 180 from what we fans expected so there's a lot of buzz on what it means for how long Floyd may be suspended. I think Kelly is playing it safe, but others are trying to read more into it than that.

 

[Football Critic]

1. Anyone who drinks and drive should pay the harshest punishment.

2. Who cares about Floyd, hes a drunk and goes to Notre Dame, Go Meeeechigan.

Who else does ND have at rb? Cyrus gray, and the kid from Compton Ca....name escapes me, but he should be a junior this year I believe.Not sure thy hve a lot of playmakers at wr, besides Riddick, and Tailer Jones.

Cierre Wood at RB? They have an incoming frosh at WR that will need to put on weight, but is a potential playmaker, Philip Daniels' son. I think his name is Devaris Daniels.

Thank You, it's Cierre Wood.They have Daniels, and the Atkinson twins coming in. Their class was pretty heavy DE/DL, so, ......here's to hoping they can minimize the suspension

Good news for Irish fans, close source just told me WR Michael Floyd will be back w Irish and unlikely to miss ANY games. More to come...
