Gosder Cherilus: From NFL Starter to Legal Trouble
Cherilus, a former offensive lineman, was once a standout player during his college football days at Boston College. After redshirting in 2003, he made his mark and eventually became the 17th overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, selected by the Detroit Lions.
Over his first eight seasons in the NFL, Cherilus proved to be a reliable player, starting in 113 out of 117 games. He spent his first five seasons with the Detroit Lions before signing a lucrative contract with the Indianapolis Colts ahead of the 2013 season. His $35 million deal made him the highest-paid right tackle in the league at the time.
The Fallout
This recent incident marks a significant downturn for the former NFL star, whose career once saw him among the top-paid offensive linemen in the league. The allegations have shocked both fans and those who followed his promising football journey.
Cherilus’ arraignment in Boston court will determine the next steps in this legal matter. As the story continues to develop, it serves as a reminder of how quickly fortunes can change, even for those who once enjoyed success at the highest levels of professional sports.
