According to the police report, Branch failed “to comply with multiple verbal lawful commands” while blocking a sidewalk.
The police were called because of a large crowd that formed outside a bar in Athens. “The crowd was blocking the entrance, and individuals were attempting to enter the establishment despite it not being open for entry at that time,” according to the police.
Branch was ranked in the top 100 prospects according to draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. The speedy receiver ran a 4.35 40-yard dash at the NFL combine.
