NFL: Bernard Pierce Says It Was “God’s Will” That He Was Arrested For DUI

 

 Some athletes need to really think about what they say on social media before they hit send. You don’t want to make it seem like God wanted you to get arrested for DUI, but that is pretty much what Bernard Pierce did after signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Pierce was released by the Ravens earlier in the week after being arrested for DUI.

He was arrested for DUI and was fired from the Ravens … but now Bernard Pierce has signed a NEW deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars … and says it was all part of God’s plan.
After Pierce was picked up by the Jags, the 24-year-old went to Twitter and said, “God works in mysterious ways.”
The Jaguars claimed Pierce off the waiver wire — despite the fact he’s facing a 2 game suspension under the NFL’s new personal conduct policy. The Jags are definitely a downgrade compared to the Ravens.
As we previously reported, Pierce was arrested Wednesday morning … and told the cop he had taken “three shots of Jack.” He was cut by the Ravens hours after the arrest.
While I am sure Pierce didn’t intend for his words to be taken in that context, just a reminder to be careful before hitting “send”.
