Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson was arrested on a drunk-driving charge in Austin, Texas, his second arrest in just over a month.
Benson, the Bears' first-round draft choice in 2005, was also charged on May 3 for driving a boat while intoxicated and resisting arrest.
"Disappointment is too much an often-used word when we're talking about Cedric," Bears general manager Jerry Angelo said.
"I am very surprised he put himself in this situation."
Benson has averaged just 3.8 yards per carry during his three years in Chicago. His starting position could be in jeopardy as the Bears have drafted running back Matt Forte heading into the 2008 season.
