Once a Super Bowl champion, Derrick Ward is facing a different kind of touchdown – this time, behind bars. The 43-year-old former New York Giants running back was arrested this week in Southern California on suspicion of robbing multiple businesses.
Ward, who earned his nickname "The Wind" for his elusive moves on the field, allegedly targeted at least five businesses, reports say. While he didn't use a gun, some reports suggest he might have used force. The details are still swirling, but one thing's clear: Ward's $250,000 bail suggests the charges are serious.
This news comes as a shock to fans who remember Ward's electrifying runs and crucial role in the Giants' magical 2007-08 Super Bowl run. Back then, he was part of a dynamic trio known as "Earth, Wind, and Fire," alongside Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw.
But now, Ward faces a different kind of challenge – navigating the legal system and clearing his name. Whether he'll be able to escape this tackle remains to be seen.
