Jermiah Braswell is an undrafted wide receiver out of Youngstown State and he made it that much harder for himself to get back into the league after his latest arrest.
The NFL rookie’s time with the Arizona Cardinals is over before it even began when they cut him from the roster after he allegedly was drunk driving and crashed his Camaro into Lake Erie.
TMZ Sports has obtained the police footage of Braswell’s Saturday arrest.
“In the video, several cops ordered Braswell out of the Camaro that’s stalled on a lake embankment … and you can see in the clip, Jermiah struggles to walk toward cops from the water.
Eventually, Put-In-Bay PD officers are able to grab him and put him in cuffs … and for the next several minutes, he tried to explain to them what happened.
The 23-year-old insisted he wasn’t drunk “at all” … and told the officers, “Honestly, I play for the NFL, dawg.”
Braswell underwent several field sobriety tests … and appeared to bomb them all — badly.
Cops then threw the cuffs on him and took him to the station … where he was booked on charges of driving while under the influence and reckless operation, per the police report.”

According to witnesses, the Toledo native was traveling at “a very high rate of speed” on the road before the crash. Officers said he was slurring his speech and had no idea how he ended up in the lake.
Braswell also took a breathalyzer test, which reportedly showed a BAC higher than the Ohio limit.
