JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars guard Anthony Cesario was arrested and
charged with misdemeanor DUI when he failed a field sobriety test after being
stopped by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office for speeding.
Cesario, a third-round pick in the 1999 draft out of Colorado State, was
stopped by police for driving 71 mph in a 45 mph zone Wednesday, according to a
police report.
After failing the sobriety test, Cesario was charged with DUI and speeding.
"I'm very disappointed in Anthony and very disappointed in Anthony's
behavior," Jaguars coach Tom Coughlin said. "I'm very upset that this
occurred. But I'm thankful there were no other vehicles or people involved.
"We've had extension discussions with Anthony and are in the process of
gathering all the information. We will make sure that Anthony understands the
seriousness of his mistake."
Cesario was inactive for all 16 games last season, but Coughlin had said
last week that he expected him to compete for a starting job this season.
