New York Jets receiver Robby Anderson has been arrested in Florida twice within the last year. And now, it sounds like he will have to go back there during training camp as a result of one of those arrests.
According to a post on Sunday by Jets beat reporter Rich Cimini of ESPN, Anderson's trial for a felony charge of resisting arrest that had been scheduled for Monday in Miami is now being rescheduled to August.

The new date is Aug. 6, when the Jets will be in training camp. The charge stems from an arrest last May at a musical festival in Miami. The wide receiver also is facing felony charges from a separate arrest in January in Sunrise, Fla. He allegedly fled from police and threatened to sexually assault a police officer's wife,” Cimini said.
This could surely see Anderson absent for Jets camp in August, which will likely make the team even more unhappy with his legal problems than they already are. Hopefully, the 24-year-old wideout will be able to stay out of trouble and is getting the help he needs to better himself going forward.
Anderson, who went undrafted out of Temple University in 2016, had a breakout season with New York during the 2017 season. He led the team 941 receiving yards as well as seven touchdown receptions. He was also second on the Jets in catches with 63 receptions in 16 regular season games.
