One former Dallas Cowboys player is facing serious charges after his alleged involvement in a fatal crash on U.S. Highway 75 in the Dallas area early Saturday morning.
Cornerback Kelvin Joseph, a 2021 second round pick, was charged with misdemeanor DWI and felony collision resulting in death.
According to Richardson (Texas) police, Joseph called emergency services to say he was involved in a crash. When police got to the scene they discovered 27-year-old Cody Morris, a Plano native, a motorcyclist, had been killed.
From The Dallas Morning News: “In a statement posted on social media, police said officers observed “signs of intoxication” while speaking with Joseph. He was booked into the Richardson city jail at about 7:45 a.m., and he faces a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated and a felony charge of collision involving death. It was not clear if he has retained an attorney. An attorney who previously represented Joseph did not answer the phone when called by The Dallas Morning News Saturday afternoon.”
Joseph played for the Cowboys for 2 seasons before being traded to the Miami Dolphins before the 2023 season. He also played for the Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs, Indianapolis Colts and Minnesota Vikings. He currently plays in the UFL for the D.C. Defenders.
Joseph Left LSU Before CFP National Title Season
Joseph, a Baton Rouge native, transferred from LSU to Kentucky following the 2018 season — right before the Tigers went undefeated and won a BCS National Championship in 2019 behind a group that included current NFL stars Joe Burrow, Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase.
