Redskins' Su'a Cravens Says He Was Racially Profiled During Recent Traffic Stop

Washington Redskins safety Su'a Cravens said he was pulled over because of racial profiling, and he threatened to sue a policeman with the Loudoun County (Va.) Sheriff's Office.

In a video on TMZ, Cravens described an incident in which he was pulled over for "going 39 in a 35" and multiple police cars surrounded him in a parking lot. His vehicle was then searched for marijuana.

Per TMZ, Cravens was cited for going 35 mph in a 25 mph zone as well as having windows with an illegal tint. He is due in court Jan. 26.

Cravens said the Nov. 29 incident was the result of his appearance.

"I'm black. I've got tattoos on my neck. I'm out here in a nice car," he said in the video.

Cravens was a second-round pick in the 2016 draft and appeared in 11 games during his rookie year but hasn't played in 2017. He considered retirement at the start of the season but left open the possibility of returning to the field in 2018.

Per Pro Football Talk, Cravens was only last week medically cleared to play after suffering from post-concussion syndrome.
