Others might have suffered from emotional abuse from parents, coaches, or teammates. Still others might have had trouble controlling their extremely aggressive, competitive natures.
Whatever the reason, there are many athletes who have found themselves involved in arrests, court cases, and convictions, either during or after their careers. These are the ten most notable athletes who turned to a life of crime.
10. Eric Naposki
Eric Naposki was a linebacker and special teams player in the NFL and the World League of American Football, from 1988 to 1997. In those years, he appeared sparingly in NFL games with the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts, before moving to the Barcelona Dragons for two separate stints in the 1990’s.
Naposki was also involved in a love triangle with Nanette Johnston and businessman Bill McLaughlin in 1994, between his stints with the Dragons. McLaughlin was killed in December of 1994, and in 2009, a California jury found Naposki guilty of first-degree murder. The court decided that Naposki had killed McLaughlin so that Johnston could collect a sizable life-insurance policy.
With a slim chance of an NFL, or at least World League football career, Naposki instead chose to look for the easy way out with a manipulative girlfriend and a big pay day. What he found instead was life in prison, without the possibility of parole.
