Prior to the 2018 NFL Draft, former Texas A&M WR Christian Kirk was arrested at a golf event in Scottsdale, Arizona, with claims that he was drunk and disorderly and damaged property.
The Arizona Cardinals still saw fit to draft him in the second round, and will be counting on him to be a big part of their offense in 2018.
On Wednesday, it was announced that the charges against Kirk had been dismissed, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reporting the news:

The Cardinals have had nothing but nice things to say about Kirk, and they knew about the arrest well before the draft occurred.
Now that the charges have been dismissed, Kirk is free to focus on his looming NFL career. He could be the team’s No. 2 option behind star WR Larry Fitzgerald this fall.
