Undrafted

The National Football League is the primary objective for high school and college football players. The NFL offers significantly better recognition, money, and playing opportunities than other football leagues.

Ricky Aguayo also had a bad draft in the 2020 NFL draft. Despite having a college degree, he sadly wasn’t able to qualify for the 2020 draft.

Turtle Killing

Later, charges of killing the turtle known as Turtle and Burglary were brought against Ricky and his teammate Ryan Izzo. By chance, the turtles belonged to individuals from a fraternity that fought him.

The turtle’s body was reportedly torn in half by the police. One of the fraternity members claimed that after being awakened by joyful chants, he saw one footballer holding the turtle.

The pet’s killing generated so much controversy that PETA and a Twitter protest were also involved.

The pet owner didn’t file any cases, though. Later, due to a lack of evidence, Ricky was also not charged.
