In fact, Crowell never saw the field at UGA again. On June 29, Crowell was arrested for felony weapons charges and dismissed from the team shortly after this arrest. Crowell had a history of disciplinary problems at UGA including failing a drug test. He seemed to be a constant thorn in the side of then UGA head coach Mark Richt, who, safe to say, had enough.
Crowell transferred to Alabama State for the remainder of his career and, despite putting up good numbers in his lone year in Montgomery, Ala. In fact the NFL. Can be difficult to coach. There did not seem to be a lot of sadness. It was evident that Crowell was talented albeit in flashes , and he knew it. His ego was sky-high. He acted entitled. He also seemed to be detrimental to the team and seemed to care more about his own personal benefit than the goals of the team. I had lost all respect for the Columbus, Ga.
Fast-forward to two weeks ago. Crowell posted an absolutely appalling photo on his Instagram page of a drawing of a man dressed in all black slitting the throat of a police officer. It made national headlines in the wake of the sad events that shook our country to its core. The photo sparked outrage from many people as it well should have. It was truly one of the most disgusting and repulsive images I have ever seen. Isaiah Crowell, after not being drafted, got signed to the Browns and has had a good NFL career thus far.
The year-old had a career-high mark of 4. He does at least seem to be healthy for the offseason program, where he'll battle with DeAndre Washington, Chris Warren and a few other players for one or two roster spots. With veteran backs Marshawn Lynch and Doug Martin still unsigned at this stage, Crowell fills a void in the Oakland backfield.
The 5-foot, pounder logged carries for yards and six TDs in 13 games with the Jets last season, adding 21 catches for yards. For now, Crowell slots in as the Raiders' top back for early downs, with Jalen Richard the favorite to handle passing downs. Crowell was released by the Jets at the beginning of the league year despite matching a career-high mark of 4. He essentially had three big games and 10 quiet ones, then missed the final three weeks of the season with a foot injury.
Crowell would be a competent replacement for free agent Marshawn Lynch on early downs, though it's possible Lynch forgoes retirement and elects to return to the Raiders. Even before the Jets brought in Le'Veon Bell, Crowell was already a candidate to be released due to concerns of the power back being a poor cultural fit with the organization, according to Bo Wulf of the Athletic.
The addition of the former Pittsburgh stalwart subsequently made management's decision to cut Crowell pretty easy. While the Jets will now move forward with Bell and Elijah McGuire atop their running back depth chart, Crowell will have to search for a new home in the wake of a three-year stretch in which he averaged a respectable 4.
His memorable yard performance in Week 5 was followed by six consecutive games with less than 50 rushing yards, and he eventually finished out the season on injured reserve with a toe injury. The Jets may decide to move in a different direction even if they pass on adding a big-name running back like Le'Veon Bell or Tevin Coleman. The team has more than enough cap space to make a run at signing Bell, but it might not be the best use of resources given the long list of weaknesses throughout the roster.
Crowell was already ruled out for Saturday's game against the Texans -- marking the first absence of his NFL career -- but will now miss the final three games of the season. The year-old will finish with carries for yards 4. Elijah McGuire should be first in line for backfield duties with Trenton Cannon also in the mix, though Cannon is questionable with a toe injury for Saturday's game. Crowell toe has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Texans, Eric Allen of the Jets ' official site reports.
Crowell's status for Saturday's game against the Texans thus remains muddled, but fortunately for the Jets , both Elijah McGuire ankle and Trenton Cannon toe returned to practice Wednesday after being listed as non-participants Tuesday. Added clarity with regard to the team's Week 15 backfield situation should arrive after Thursday's practice, the team's last session in advance of Saturday's tilt.
Crowell foot wasn't spotted on the field for the portion of Wednesday's practice that was open to the media, Ethan B. View all. Popular Forums. Extra Effort. Virginia Batten dances with Extra Effort.
