NFL star Demarcus Robinson was arrested for DUI just hours after playing for the LA Rams this weekend

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was arrested early Monday morning on suspicion of felony DUI.

Conformable TMZcops pulled Robinson over in Los Angeles when they spotted him driving over 100 mph in his white Dodges sedan around 5 a.m.

The report says Robinson, 30, refused to take a field sobriety test at the scene and was subsequently arrested.

He reportedly showed signs of impairment and was later released to a responsible party, TMZ says.

Robinson starred for the Rams in their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night, hauling in two receptions for 15 yards and a touchdown as his team lost 37-20 at SoFi Stadium.

Robinson began his NFL career in 2016 when the Kansas City Chiefs drafted him in the fourth round.

He was in Kansas City until 2021, joining the Baltimore Ravens via the Las Vegas Raiders, where he played in just two preseason games.

After one year in Baltimore, the Rams signed Robinson, and in February of this year, he re-signed with Sean McVay’s team on a one-year, $5 million contract.

Earlier this season, he was linked to a return to the Chiefs and a reunion with Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes when Kansas City had a number of injuries at the receiver position.

NFL insider Adam Schefter said Robinson would be a smart addition to the team chasing a third straight Super Bowl title because of his familiarity with how Andy Reid’s teams operate.

“I think in a perfect world it’s somebody like Demarcus Robinson, (a player) who knows the system and knows the quarterback,” Schefter said in October.

Finally, the Chiefs traded for DeAndre Hopkins from the Tennessee Titans.

Meanwhile, the Rams are third in the NFC West with a 5-6 record after losing to the Eagles on Sunday night.

They next play against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
