Ex-Cowboys cornerback Kelvin Joseph arrested, charged in fatal car crash

Former Cowboys cornerback Kelvin Joseph was arrested Saturday morning and is facing a felony charge in Texas after his alleged involvement in a fatal car crash, according to arrest records viewed by The Post.

Joseph, 25, was charged with driving while intoxicated (a misdemeanor) and collision involving personal injury or death (a felony).

The Richardson Police Department said in a post on Facebook that they received a call from Joseph at 5:39 a.m. local time in which the University of Kentucky standout admitted to his involvement in the accident.

Police allege that Joseph’s BMW hit a motorcycle, resulting in the death of a 27-year-old woman.

Authorities added in a statement that they “observed signs of intoxication” from Joseph and that an investigation is underway.

Joseph’s incident on Saturday is not his first involvement with the police, with the cornerback being in the car of a suspected gunman in Dallas before a shooting in 2022.

Police ultimately concluded Joseph was not the shooter, and he was cleared of any wrongdoing shortly after.

“We obviously don’t need our players to be involved in situations that make this come up about your character,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said at the time. “He needs to be a good player on and off the field and we’re going to give him a chance to do that. [Our message to him is] Now get in here and be a good player, be a guy everybody depends on, and make your name in a positive way and clean it up.”

The Cowboys drafted Joseph in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, and he played in 26 games across two seasons with the team before being traded to the Dolphins ahead of the 2023 campaign.

Joseph played in four games for Miami before being traded to the Seahawks midway through that season.

He has since made multiple NFL practice squads, but has failed to appear in a regular-season game.

The defensive back is now on the roster of the UFL’s DC Defenders after playing in nine games this season.
