A former Auburn Tiger and current NFL player has found himself in some trouble with the law. Former Tigers defensive linemen Montravius Adams was arrested in Georgia on and charged with three misdemeanors, per a report from AL.com.
According to the report, Adams was arrested in Houston County on Tuesday night and was charged with possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, driving without insurance, and driving with suspended, canceled, or revoked vehicle registration. Adams spent just a matter of hours in jail before posting his bond of $2,964.
Adams played at Auburn from 2013 to 2016 and became a standout on the defensive line. As a senior with the Tigers in 2016, Adams racked up 8.0 tackles for loss, 4.0 sacks, and an interception. In his entire college career, Adams tallied 147 total tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, and 10.5 sacks.
He went on to be drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft (No. 93 overall). Since then, Adams has worked his way into the defensive line rotation in Green Bay. In 2019, Adams played in 14 games and notched 11 combined tackles.
Back in 2018, Adams returned to The Plains as a guest for Big Cat weekend. The former Auburn star was happy to lend a hand to his alma mater because he feels a bond with everyone around the program.
“I came down just for this,” Adams said. “I mean, because it’s real. You ask any person around, it’s because it’s Auburn and Auburn is family. This is my family. If the coaches are gone or not, I’m still going to come back here because I love to be here.”
Adams was a five-star recruit and the No. 10 overall player in the 2013 recruiting class, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
