Former Jaguars OL Will Richardson Jr. arrested on DUI charge

Free agent offensive lineman Will Richardson Jr. was arrested on DUI charges Friday, two days after he was cut by the Jaguars.

Two days after he was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Wednesday, free agent offensive lineman Will Richardson Jr. was arrested on a DUI charge early Friday morning, St. John’s County records show.

Richardson, 26, was booked for a second-degree misdemeanor after refusing to submit for a DUI test after a traffic stop, according to police. Records show he was booked into a St. John’s County jail at 2:42 a.m. on Friday and released 1:41 p.m. that afternoon.

The 2018 fourth-round pick played in 44 games over the last three seasons with the Jaguars and made five starts. Last season, Richardson scored a touchdown when he fell on a fumble in the end zone against the New York Jets.

Richardson entered training camp buried on the depth chart behind offensive tackles Cam Robinson, Jawaan Taylor, and Walker Little. The Jaguars opted to keep just those three tackles along with three guards and two centers when the team cut down the roster to 53 players.

During his freshman year at North Carolina State, Richardson was arrested and charged with DWI.
