For the second time in three days, New York Jets linebacker Dylan Donahue pleaded guilty to a drunk-driving charge.
On Friday, Donahue received a three-month suspended sentence and a $1,000 fine for a DUI crash in his hometown, Billings, Montana. It stemmed from a May 9, 2017, arrest in which his blood-alcohol level was 0.137, above the state’s legal limit of 0.08.

For Dylan Donahue, this means he has pleaded guilty in two separate DUI cases in the span of three days — one in NJ, one in Montana. Now he waits for the NFL to rule. Suspension seems inevitable. #Jets

The incident occurred 10 days after he was drafted by the Jets.
Donahue was arrested again in February, this time after a wrong-way crash in the Lincoln Tunnel. On Wednesday, he pleaded guilty to that DUI charge in Weehawken, New Jersey.
Donahue practiced with the Jets on Wednesday and Thursday. He now awaits discipline from the NFL, which likely will result in a suspension.

No doubt a suspension is coming soon. Let’s hope he rebounds after he returns when eligible.
