Former NFL receiver Andre Rison has been jailed after pleading guilty to second-offense DUI.
TMZ reports that Rison will spend two days behind bars in Michigan, from Friday to Sunday.
Rison pleaded guilty this week after an August 2025 arrest. He was sentenced to five total days and 18 months probation.
A first-round pick of the Colts in 1989, Rison was traded to the Falcons in 1990. He spent five seasons in Atlanta and one in Cleveland.
He was released by the Browns after the 1995 season. Rison then signed with the Jaguars, who cut him after 10 games. The Packers claimed Rison on waivers, and he later scored the first touchdown in Green Bay's Super Bowl XXXI victory.
Rison spent the next three years with the Chiefs and one with the Raiders. After his last NFL season (2000), he joined the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL for part of the 2004 and 2005 seasons, winning a Grey Cup to cap his first year.
Rison was a five-time Pro Bowler, a first-team All-Pro in 1990, and a second-team All-Pro from 1991 through 1993. He finished his career with 10,205 receiving yards (54th all time) and 84 receiving touchdowns (tied for 23rd with Mark Clayton, Irving Fryar, and Tommy McDonald).
