Yes, Nate Hobbs is in the news for the wrong reasons again. The talented cornerback just completed a standout rookie season and while that’s all we should be talking about with him, we’re not. - Sunday night Hobbs was cited by the Nevada Highway Patrol for going 110 mph in a 65 mph zone. This according to local CBS Channel 8 New Now. - That’s an extreme rate of speed to be traveling for anyone. Even had this been an isolated incident, we could just call it as such and figure he’ll learn from it. - But this isn’t isolated. Just two weeks earlier, Hobbs was arrested on DUI charges. That’s a far more serious charge and one that didn’t yield any sort of punishment, with his head coach saying he would let the legal process happen. - His DUI was not just a big deal in and of itself, it was a big deal in light of the team’s several other run-ins with the law over the past year. - Last January, teammate Josh Jacobs was cited for DUI. Then during the season, Henry Ruggs III was arrested for DUI resulting in death for an accident that killed a young woman and her dog. Then a short time later, after fellow CB Damon Arnette was released following a video he posted on social media in which he was threatening someone’s life while brandishing several firearms, it was revealed Arnette had crashed four rental cars in a month’s time. - To go out after all that and drive recklessly like that is extremely irresponsible, shows terrible judgment, and questionable character. Nate Hobbs, you need to wake up and grow up. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Raiders Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Raiders Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
