Next law conflict from an NFL pro.

According to the Atlanta Police Department, Atlanta Falcons fullback Keith Smith was arrested for traffic violations. Specifically, it was for a speeding ticket the 31-year-old had received earlier this year.

Smith had paid it and assumed the matter was settled. However, as his agent told “NFL Media”, there was a miscommunication and his licence was unknowingly revoked.

Now the fullback was pulled over for an expired registration – and arrested for driving without a licence.

“We are aware of a legal matter involving Keith Smith and have been informed of the details,” the Atlanta Falcons wrote in a statement, according to “NFL.com,” adding, “We will have no further comment at this time.”

Smith is entering his tenth NFL season, having been with the Falcons since 2019.
