Los Angeles wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was recently involved in an incident with law enforcement after being arrested mere hours after the Week 12 game against the Philadelphia Eagles — a game that ended in his team’s 37-20 loss.

While driving in the Woodland Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, Robinson was arrested at around 5:13 a.m. on Monday on suspicion of driving under the influence. According to the California Highway Patrol, he was driving more than 100 mph on the 101 Freeway, few miles away from the Rams’ training facility.

The veteran receiver, who’s a key contributor to the Rams’ receiving squad, scored a touchdown in the first quarter of the game.

He emphasized on capitalizing the opportunity whenever it presents itself when asked how his team can work on consistency.

I would say, just trying to execute when we had an opportunity, honestly. When we get in the red zone, we got to capitalize and put points on the board, no matter if it’s three points or scoring a touchdown. We just got to capitalize when we’re down there.
