Browns linebacker Devin Bush arrested on assault charge after incident with girlfriend
Former Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, top-10 NFL draft pick and current Cleveland Browns linebacker Devin Bush was arrested Sunday on two separate charges after allegedly smashing his girlfriend's cell phone during a dispute. According to TMZ, court records show that Bush was arrested in Allegheny County, Pa., on charges of simple assault and harassment. Bush's girlfriend reportedly told cops she began filming Bush during an argument and 'aggressively' tried to take her phone when he noticed she was recording him.

When police officers noticed a wrist abrasion and a mark on the woman's foot, she told them that happened 'from the struggle with Bush trying to take her phone,' TMZ reported. Bush denied getting physical but admitted to smashing her phone. Advertisement The records show that Bush is due to appear in court for a preliminary case hearing on May 20. Further details of the allegations made against him are currently unavailable. According to multiple outlets, the Browns are aware of Bush's arrest and are gathering more information regarding what the alleged incident that got him arrested entailed. The 26-year-old was a standout linebacker in his collegiate career at Michigan, which led to the Pittsburgh Steelers trading up in the 2019 NFL Draft to select him 10th overall.

Bush broke out in his sophomore season as he recorded more than 100 tackles and was the leader of Michigan's defense. In his junior year, he continued his stellar play. He was recognized with All American honors and the 2018 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year award before declaring for the draft. Bush spent four seasons with the Steelers, placing third in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting after starting 15 games and tallying 109 total tackles, two interceptions, four fumble recoveries, nine tackles for loss and a scoop-and-score touchdown.

The undersized linebacker who relied so heavily on his speed and athleticism has since not looked the same after his solid rookie season. He joined the Seahawks after his four-year stint in Pittsburgh and started in just three games before heading to Cleveland for this past season where he started in 10 games and had 76 total tackles.

Dak Prescott's Cowboys Sign Freakish New QB As Camp Opens
FRISCO - The Dallas Cowboys have their No. 1 QB locked in, and maybe there will eventually be competition for the No. 2 job. And this weekend - maybe only for the short term - there will be a fourth quarterback bidding for a job. Advertisement Dak Prescott is rehabbing from his hamstring-tear surgery but does plan on participating on some level in the upcoming OTAs. And after trading for Joe Milton (while parting ways with now-Chargers reserve Trey Lance), Dallas is excited to have set up a backup competition between "Bazooka Joe'' and journeyman Will Grier (here in the wake of Cooper Rush having signed with the Ravens). But the Cowboys are poised to take a look at another quarterback this weekend, as ESPN was first to note, the team will have former Houston quarterback Donovan Smith at this weekend's rookie minicamp here at The Star. Don't misunderstand here; Smith is getting a "tryout,'' but in reality, he's a convenient "camp arm.'' Advertisement But the UDFA rookie, who spent his first three college seasons at Texas Tech before transferring to Houston, will take whatever he's offered. Some of the numbers aren't there, as last year he played in nine games while throwing for four touchdowns with eight interceptions. Smith does have some mobility, and that can be an asset, too. Oh, and there is this: He's 6-foot-6 and 238 pounds (not unlike Milton) Smith and runs a 4.63 40-yard dash with a 37-inch vertical. ... all rather freakish and fun for us to watch ... At least for this weekend. Related: Cowboys Amari Cooper Signing Rumor Is More 'Desperate' Than 'Dreamy' Related: Cowboys Signing Isaiah Bond 'Can't Happen' Explains Dallas Insider Want more Cowboys?
