Giants rookie wants people to take it easy on Henry Ruggs

Kadarius Toney catches a pass in practice

Many people have piled on Henry Ruggs for killing a woman during a DUI car crash in Las Vegas, Nev. early Tuesday morning. But one NFL player thinks people should take it easier on the former Raiders wide receiver.

Kadarius Toney, who was a first-round pick by the New York Giants this season, shared a message on Twitter Wednesday. Toney urged people to go easier on Ruggs because everybody makes “mistakes.”

People have piled on Ruggs because he allegedly drove drunk, was speeding at 156 mph, and killed a young woman plus the young woman’s dog, while also seriously injuring his own girlfriend. He has been charged with two felonies and could face charges for possession of a firearm and for injuring his girlfriend.

The Raiders considered Ruggs’ actions to be worse than just a minor mistake and swiftly cut him on Tuesday night. Toney seems to believe that Ruggs already knows how badly he messed up and doesn’t need people bashing him excessively.
