Jets 3rd draft pick could be deported

DT/NT Kenrick Ellis might not play a down of NFL football on U.S. soil...

Ellis was indicted a month before the April draft on the charge of malicious wounding, a Class 3 felony in Virginia. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.

A potential complication is that Ellis is not a U.S. citizen, ESPNNewYork.com has learned. Ellis, a native of Jamaica who moved to Florida at the age of 11, has "permanent resident" status. A permanent resident convicted of an aggravated felony is deportable, according to immigration law.

He was a known headache before the Jets drafted him. Not just a single incident. Jets rolled the dice.

Given the multiple drug test failures and the deportation/assault issues he was an incredibly high risk. A Jamaican with drug and violence issues, anyone think he can keep things clean for the next 10 years to justify the pick.

yeah all he needs is a coach like rivera i believe.rex should get enough out of him. and can a jamaican have drug issues? weed is apart of his culture.
