Quinn was a first-round pick by the St. Louis Rams in 2011. He played for the Miami Dolphins and Dallas College before joining the Bears in 2020.
Robert Quinn had an incredible season with the Bears in 2021
Quinn earned All-Pro honors and made a Pro Bowl appearance in 2021 when he recorded 18.5 sacks. The Bears traded Quinn to the Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 26 of the 2022 season for a fourth-round pick. That was Quinn’s last season in the league.
Per the Fox 4 News report, Quinn was not cooperative with police when they arrived to the scene of a crash:
“Police said Quinn had visible injuries to his head and face, had slurred speech and was uncooperative with officers who asked for his identification. Quinn eventually provided his identification to officers, but asked himself “where is my wallet” while his wallet was in his hand before dropping it in his lap. The police report states a maroon Ford F-150 registered to Quinn was on the other side of the parking lot and looked to be the vehicle that started the collision.
“Police said Quinn’s truck hit the passenger side of a Honda Element, which was pushed into a blue Ford F-150 that hit another car. Officers asked Quinn to get out of the Challenger, but Quinn resisted by holding the door to the car, the report states. Police removed Quinn from the vehicle, and he was “escorted to the ground” by officers because he was trying to pull away from them.”
Quinn was born in Ladson, South Carolina. He attended Fort Dorchester High School in North Charleston, South Carolina. He played college football for the North Carolina Tar Heels.
Quinn recorded 369 tackles, 102 sacks and 32 forced fumbles in his 12-year NFL career.
