WALHALLA, S.C. -- Former NFL cornerback Derek Ross was arrested and charged with trafficking marijuana after a traffic stop Friday.

The 25-year-old Ross, who was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 2002, was in a car with another man when police stopped the rented Chevrolet Impala on Interstate 85 near the South Carolina-Georgia border, according to Capt. Donnie Fricks of the Oconee County Sheriff's Office.

Officers smelled and saw marijuana on the console, and a search found 25 pounds of marijuana, police said.

Ross, of Rock Hill, also played for Atlanta and Minnesota. He was selected in the third round by the Cowboys out of Ohio State. The Cowboys released him late in the 2003 season.

Dalmicos Hemphill, 24, also of Rock Hill, has been charged with trafficking marijuana.

Once a Cowboy, always a Cowboy when it comes to drugs.

25 lbs on weed, geez.

I thought he was still playing for another team. Either way, his playing days are over now.

A Cowboy arrested on a drug charge? What's next, a fat kid caught eating a box of Twinkies?

Seems with the direction that this thread is going the only thing missing is a Ricky Williams post.

Smoking weed feeling fine, got me a 40 and a phat azz dime......Hmmm I don't know why that came to mind. I wonder if Jerry Jones has his hands in this, there seems to be a high number of Cowboy players that either have been or is in trouble with drugs. I know that all the Dallas naysayers will bring up Dexter Manley but he was a user not a seller........Also wasn't there a story where Micheal Irving tried to stab a rookie at training camp as the rookie jumped in line for a haircut? and wasn't that about the time he was caught in the hotel with prostitutes and plates of cocaine??

:laugh::laugh:

I'm really glad Parcells has weeded through a lot of players that do these types of stupid things and gotten rid of them. Hopefully we can go a few years without a current cowboy being arrested for anything! :silly:
