| Seahawks rookie quarterback Trevone Boykin pleaded guilty Thursday to a misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest in Bexar County (Texas) Court, resolving an incident that occurred Dec. 31 in San Antonio. He was fined $1,500 plus court costs, given one year of probation, serve 80 hours of community service and take an anger management course.
Boykin’s agent, Drew Pittman, said Thursday that Boykin is fulfilling many of the community hours now and that none of the penalties will impact Boykin’s availability for Seahawks’ training camp, which begins July 30. (Seattle Times)
FFToday's Take: Boykin was set to face arraignment on Aug. 1, so the plea allows him to take part in the first day of Seahawks' training camp on July 30. The former TCU star, who went undrafted in April in part due to this incident, is set to be Russell Wilson's backup at the moment.
