The Mobile County Sheriff's Office calls former Auburn football star Leonardo Carson a "significant drug dealer."

Deputies arrested Carson Tuesday night at his place of business on Saint Stephens Road in Toulminville. They confiscated codeine syrup and two cars investigators say were purchased from money made in drug deals.

Carson's younger brother Wilbert was arrested a couple of hours earlier. Deputies found marijuana in his car during a traffic stop at Airport Boulevard and Sage Avenue.

Carson was drafted by the San Diego Chargers in 2000. The big defensive tackle also played for the Dallas Cowboys before he was cut in 2005.

A third person was arrested for selling crack cocaine.

The Sheriff's Office says the investigation is on going and they expect more arrests will be made.

This is why scholarships should be thrown out for football.  A free ride to college and they end up as drug dealers if they dont make the NFL.
