Ted Ginn Jr. (former wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers and current head coach of the Columbus Aviators in the United Football League) was arrested for DUI in Dallas. In a statement via Twitter/X, Ginn acknowledged his mistake and took full responsibility for his actions. He expressed the importance of accountability, stating, "I understand the responsibility that comes with being a leader & role model, and falling short of this is not something I take lightly." He committed to learning from this experience and regaining the trust of his players, organization, and fans. As a result of his arrest, Ginn did not coach the Aviators in their matchup against the Dallas Renegades, with offensive coordinator Todd Haley stepping in as head coach. Ginn had a successful NFL career, playing 14 seasons, including three with the Panthers, where he recorded 134 receptions for 2,047 yards and 19 touchdowns. He was instrumental in the Panthers' run to Super Bowl 50 in 2015, finishing that season with 739 receiving yards and a career-high 10 touchdowns.
