These are arrests and citations involving NFL players since 2000 that were more serious than speeding tickets. U-T San Diego reviewed hundreds of news reports and public records in compiling it. The list cannot be considered comprehensive in part because some incidents may not have been reported and some public records proved to be elusive. Increased media coverage of incidents also probably accounts for more incidents listed in recent years.

"Unsurprisingly, we read that NFL players have been arrested 788 times since 2010, according to USA Today, while the San Diego UT lists 743 charges more serious than speeding since 2000."
202 years ago this week, First Lady Dolly Madison saved the famous portrait of George Washington from the White House during the War of 1812. If it happened today, Obama would probably save his golf clubs!~~FB comment
So, of the 34 teams listed, the average # of incidents reported is 21.26. Only 13 teams are above average, but in a bad sort of way.
The worst of the teams (again, just by the numbers, not the seriousness of the crimes) are Cincinnati (#1), Denver, Minnesota, Tennessee and Tampa Bay.
(I'm surprised to see that Dallas and Houston are significantly below average.)
Don't know if any conclusions can be drawn, but it's interesting.
