Boykin was arrested in March 2017 after a car he was a passenger in crashed in Uptown Dallas. He was arrested on suspicion of possession of marijuana and public intoxication.

Seven people were taken to the hospital with injuries not believed to be life-threatening, according to police. The driver, 25-year-old Shabrika Bailey, faces two charges of intoxication assault with a vehicle causing serious bodily injury.

Boykin was signed by the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 2016.
