Arizona Cardinals WR Marquise Brown pleaded guilty to an excessive speeding charge on Wednesday, six months after cops accused the NFL wideout of going 126 MPH in a 65 MPH zone, per @TMZ_Sports.
Brown faces up to 30 days in jail and/or a year of probation. He must pay a $500 fine. TMZ Sports notes Brown’s initial plan was to plea not guilty, but he had second thoughts.
Arizona laws say anything over 20 mph above a posted speed limit is criminal speeding. It is a misdemeanor.
Brown had 67 catches for 709 yards and three touchdowns for the Cardinals this year. Arizona finished 4-13 in a disappointing season after making the playoffs in 2021. They fired Head Coach Kliff Kingsbury the day after the regular season ended.
Brown was acquired from the Baltimore Ravens in a draft-day trade that sent the Cardinals’ first-round pick (23rd overall pick) to Baltimore in exchange for Brown and the 100th overall pick.
