Goodson was arrested early Friday on drug possesion and weapons charges, according to New Jersey State Police.

Goodson and another man were stopped on Route 80 in Denville, N.J. when a tow-truck driver found them. He then called 911 when he saw the physical condition of Goodson, who was in the passenger seat of an SUV. Goodson was brought to a nearby hospital where he was discharged when it was determined he was healthy enough to leave.

Goodson was found with a small amount of marijuana and a semi-automatic handgun on his person.

A Jets spokesman said: “We are aware of the report and are gathering information.”

The 25-year old was signed to a three-year deal by the Jets in the offseason after playing previously with Carolina and Oakland.
