EX-NFL STAR RUGGS BEGS FOR EARLY RELEASE!

Henry Ruggs III, once a blazing NFL receiver, is reportedly pleading with authorities for an early parole. The former first-round draft pick, whose career (and life as he knew it) imploded after a horrific drunk driving incident, is allegedly campaigning for a Get Out of Jail Free card.

According to NY Post Sports, Ruggs, who was behind the wheel in a deadly 2021 crash that killed a 23-year-old woman, is trying to cut his sentence short. Remember, he was doing 156 mph with a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit. Now, he wants a break?

This isn't a game, folks. A young woman lost her life, and Ruggs is serving time. The nerve to ask for parole after just five years? We'll be watching to see if justice continues to be served, or if this ex-star gets a pass.
