The 22-year-old faces charges for obstruction of a law enforcement officer and blocking a public sidewalk. According to police reports, Branch failed to comply with multiple requests from officers to move from a sidewalk, leading to his arrest. Branch, who is the great nephew of Pro Football Hall of Famer Cliff Branch, has made a name for himself in college football, playing two seasons at the University of Southern California (USC) before transferring to the University of Georgia. He recorded 81 receptions for 811 yards and six touchdowns in 14 games for the Bulldogs. His performance at the NFL scouting combine in March was notable, where he clocked a 4.35-second 40-yard dash, earning him a spot on the NFL.com all-combine team. This arrest comes just days before the NFL draft, potentially complicating his prospects as teams evaluate his character and off-field behavior.
