Ex-NFL running back Mark Walton has been arrested again ... after cops say he helped rob a person at gunpoint in February.
According to police documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, cops say Walton and another person pulled a gun on someone on Feb. 4 in Miami and demanded "everything."
In the docs, cops say there was a confrontation between the three, but claim Watson and his alleged accomplice made off with the person's Rolex. Cops say in the docs the robbery was captured on surveillance footage.
Police say they eventually arrested Walton on Tuesday after they obtained a search warrant to go through the home he was staying in.
Jail records show Walton was booked at 4:49 PM ET and is being held without bond. The records also show the 24-year-old was booked on a charge of robbery/armed/firearm or deadly weapon.
Walton is certainly no stranger to run-ins with the law -- he's been arrested several times in the last few years, including last year when he was accused of exploding on employees at a Florida Pizza Hut.
Walton was also accused in 2019 of striking a pregnant woman, who told police in a 911 call, "My boyfriend beat me up."
Walton was picked in the 4th round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals. He later played for the Miami Dolphins, before he was cut over his legal troubles.

Colin Kaepernick Several NFL Teams Have Inquired About QB ... Workout Partner Says

Exclusive

David Robinson -- a famous football trainer who works with some of the NFL's best -- says multiple NFL teams have contacted him to inquire about Colin Kaepernick following a recent workout he had with the QB.
Robinson -- who's trained NFL stars like Dez Bryant and Antonio Brown over the years -- tells TMZ Sports "at least" five different teams have reached out to him in the last few days after he helped run a training sesh for the former 49ers star in Dallas earlier this month.
"A few teams have reached out to me and asked how his arm looked," said Robinson, who declined to get into which specific teams have called. "They have reached out and asked about him."
It's interesting, considering no NFL team has given Kaepernick a roster spot since the 2016 season.
Robinson, though, said members from orgs across the league called and appeared to have a legitimate interest in getting his take on the QB -- after the 34-year-old threw in front of him for several hours at a Texas H.S. last week.
As for what Robinson told them -- he said he was very impressed with what he saw from Kaepernick, despite the signal-caller's lengthy time away from NFL action.
"He definitely has the ability to play on somebody's roster -- like, right now," Robinson said. "Like, a couple of the guys that were in the session that were on NFL teams were saying that his arm is just as strong as guys' that we got on our roster right now and can play."
"So, yeah. He looked real good."
Robinson added Kaepernick hasn't lost his fastball, and insisted the guy still has "a cannon" for an arm.
Kaepernick has been traveling all over the country this month with the hopes of catching NFL teams' eyes -- working with NFL QBs and wide receivers and posting the footage of the workouts on social media.
Robinson tells us he believes it's all been a success so far ... saying, "I definitely think that this go-around, he may get a shot."

Denver fans are going to love this ...
Russell Wilson is already building up serious chemistry with his new star receiver Courtland Sutton -- hitting the dude in stride for a huge TD pass in a workout in the quarterback's backyard on Tuesday.
The new Denver signal-caller just posted the vid -- his first-ever in Broncos gear -- and even though he's on a new squad, his arm certainly still looks the same.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Watch the clip, Wilson fired off a 50-yard strike to Sutton, who came down with the ball while sliding into the endzone.
The two dapped up on the field after the play -- and following the training session, Russ was clearly hyped about his new teammate.
"Uh oh," Wilson wrote, adding a "😏" emoji.
Of course, the sight is going to make Seahawks fans cringe -- particularly after Seattle brass said in statements last week that it was Wilson who originally asked for a trade.
But, not like Denver cares. Congrats on the addition, Broncos!

Gisele Bündchen Releasing Health & Wellness Cookbook Based Off Brady Family Diet
Wanna eat like Tom Brady?! Now's your chance ... 'cause the 7x Super Bowl winners supermodel wife, Gisele Bündchen, is releasing a health and wellness cookbook based on the Brady family diet.
So ... avocado ice cream anyone?!
The 41-year-old partnered with United Talent Agency (UTA) and wrote the book around recipes her and her Buccaneers QB husband -- along with their kids -- eat on a routine basis.
Unfortunately, those of you who want to eat like the Brady Bunch will have to wait until 2024 when the book is released.
Brady's diet is truly fascinating. He didn't eat even eat a strawberry (a STRAWBERRY!) until he was in his 40s.
A few years back Brady detailed his diet in 'The TB12 Method' book ... including that "delicious, but much healthier" avocado dessert.
In fact, Tom's then-personal chef mentioned 80% of what Brady's family ate was vegetables.
But, whatever he's doin' seems to be working ... TB's going into his 23rd season as an NFL player, and is generally regarded as the greatest player of all time.
So, cucumbers and kale, anyone?!

Deshaun Watson may be a Cleveland Brown, but he's still in the city of Houston (for now) ... the QB was spotted out with his girlfriend Jilly Anais at a music festival on Saturday.
The blockbuster trade shocked the entire NFL last week for several reasons -- some questioned the controversial move, considering the mountain of sexual misconduct lawsuits filed by massage therapists.
The mixed feelings didn't stop Watson from going out to support Anais' rap performance ... as she opened up for 2 Chainz at the Texas Smoke Break Fest in Houston.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
FYI, Anais was originally supposed to perform at the Toyota Center for Chris Brown's tour ... but the show was canceled during soundcheck.

"I thank God that through the unimaginable we held it together and came out on top!"
In the video, you can see Watson -- wearing a button-down shirt and a dark cap -- right there to see her shine ... and the couple left the event looking happy as ever.
Watson and Anais have been dating since 2019 ... and despite all the allegations that started in 2021, the 26-year-old has made it clear she's gonna stick by his side.

Urban Meyer Allegedly Didn't Know Who Aaron Donald Was ... While Coaching Jaguars
Urban Meyer allegedly did not know who Aaron Donald -- arguably the best player in the NFL -- was while he was the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
According to The Athletic, multiple sources who worked with Meyer during the 2021 season claimed the head coach was unfamiliar with Donald and other NFL stars like Deebo Samuel and Jamal Adams.
In fact, one source, the outlet reported, said Meyer actually asked one staffer at some point during the year, "Who's this 99 guy on the Rams?"
"I'm hearing he might be a problem for us."
Of course, Donald is a future Hall of Famer, a 7-time All-Pro and a 3-time Defensive Player of the Year. He's played on the league's biggest stage -- the Super Bowl -- 2 times in his 8-year career.
It only took until the Jaguars second offensive play of the game for Aaron Donald to do this. I’m sure Urban Meyer knew who he was then. https://t.co/higOkVRGjT pic.twitter.com/4OXlR37tXD

Donald and the Rams ended up playing the Jaguars just days before Meyer was fired in December -- and AD recorded a sack and a forced fumble in the contest.
Meyer's attorney, according to The Athletic, declined to comment on the allegations in the story.
As we previously reported, Meyer was officially canned by the Jags on Dec. 15, after former Jaguar Josh Lambo accused the coach of kicking and bullying him at practices and meetings before the season.
Meyer was just 2-11 in his 13 games as Jags head coach.

Several items that belonged to Demaryius Thomas -- including a jersey signed by Tom Brady -- were allegedly stolen after a break-in at the late football player's home earlier this month.
According to police documents, obtained by 95.5 WSB, several people broke into Thomas' Georgia home on March 13 -- just 3 months after the former NFL star died there.
In the docs, cops say Thomas' mother told them an ESPY award, a Brady autographed jersey, football memorabilia, a hyperbaric chamber, guns, cash and more were all taken in the incident.
A spokesperson for the Roswell Police Dept. tells TMZ Sports officers responded to Thomas' home after a family member had told them there were "several unauthorized individuals inside."
Cops say after questioning people at the home, three men -- 29-year-old Vashone Jones, 27-year-old Perfect Robinson and 30-year-old Malcom Daniels -- were arrested, and all later charged with criminal trespass.
In police documents, according to 95.5 WSB, cops say Jones told them that "he used to live at the home and helped Thomas with his medical issues" prior to his death. Jones allegedly told cops he still visited the place on weekends to check on it.
The outlet reported Thomas' mother, though, told police the home should have been empty and that they had changed the locks following Thomas' passing.
Police tell us Thomas' family members and reps met with them last week regarding items missing from the home following the arrests, adding "that theft investigation is still active and ongoing."
As we previously reported, Thomas was found dead in his Georgia home after cops say they had received a call "in reference to a cardiac arrest." He was 33 years old.

Breathe easy, Rams fans ... Aaron Donald isn't retiring, so says his former L.A. teammate Andrew Whitworth, who tells TMZ Sports A.D. ain't going anywhere but the gym this offseason.
The ex-Rams left tackle, who just walked away from the game this month, said out at Wally's in Beverly Hills this week that he is 100 percent sure Donald won't hang up the cleats this year.
"He'll be back on that field dominating again," Whitworth said, confidently.
Of course, according to NBC's Rodney Harrison, Donald was considering retirement just before the Super Bowl -- with the former Patriots star explaining A.D. had told him he'd strongly think about giving up the game if the Rams won it all.
Rodney Harrison just said on NBC's pregame show that Aaron Donald told him there's a strong possibility he could retire if the #Rams win the Super Bowl. Video is below: pic.twitter.com/tIhAzQCwWv

Donald hasn't given a solid indication that he's leaning one way or the other following the big championship win -- but according to Whitworth, that chatter can be put to bed now.
"Dominate on the football field again," Whitworth said when asked what he expected to see from Donald in 2022. "That's what I know he knows how to do well and I'm sure he's going to be doing it again."
If Donald does come back, Whitworth thinks the star defensive lineman has a great shot at getting a second ring -- telling us even without him on the O-line, there's still plenty of talent for the Rams to go back-to-back.

Aaron Rodgers' off-season is off to a sunny start -- the guy is back in California with his girlfriend, sippin' a little vino and cashing in chips ... riding out the high of his fat payday.
The Packers QB -- who just got a huge deal from his longtime team in the form of a 3-year, $150-million contract -- was spotted out in Los Olivos this weekend with Shailene Woodley by his side ... with the two of them tagging along for a little wine tasting with friends.
We're told this photo, obtained by TMZ, was shot Saturday at the Demetria Winery -- and as you can see ... Aaron's chillin' with his shades on, and his glass tilted back. SW is right by his side ... but eyewitnesses tell us they were getting quite cozy, with lap-sitting, etc.
The boozy outing here follows what sounds like a little high-rolling in a nearby casino the day prior -- some folks saw Aaron and Shailene on Friday trying their luck at the Chumash Casino Resort in neighboring Santa Ynez, which is a stone's throw away from this winery.
Of course, Shailene was there too at what appears to be a cashier window ... standing right next to Aaron and sporting her signature curly 'do. Seems like a nice, long romantic getaway for the pair.
As if the recent runway plane photos didn't spell it out clearly enough, here's just more evidence that they're definitely back together and an item again. On top of this, they also recently went to a wedding together -- for a fellow Packer, no less -- so it's confirmed.
Now, whether they're still due to walk down the aisle is another story -- because it's not clear if they are or not. But it looks like they're on the right path when you see 'em like this.

Despite Colin Kaepernick's recent workouts, the chances of the QB getting signed are slim to none ... so says Warren Moon, who tells TMZ Sports he doubts NFL owners will give the ex-49ers star another shot.
"I just don't know if he's going to get that opportunity," the Hall of Famer said earlier this week. "I just don't think the NFL wants that subject back into the league."
Kaepernick hasn't played a down in the NFL since the 2016 season ... but he's been itching to get back ever since. And, he's amped up workouts recently with the hopes of finally getting a call this offseason.
Kaep's been spotted at high schools all across the country the past few days throwing footballs -- and has looked good.
Moon, though, says he's just not sure teams will ever give him a fair shake at this point -- given how polarizing his national anthem demonstrations became.
"Just thinking off the top of my head," Moon said, "those owners, they have a very close-knit unit and once they make their minds up that they don't want to do something, it doesn't happen."
Moon tells us he's hoping 34-year-old Kaepernick gets another chance -- saying he believes the guy is "still a great athlete."
He added that he thinks Seattle would be a good fit for the former star if he were to get another shot.

Davante Adams out ... DK Metcalf in?
Packers legend LeRoy Butler says if he were running the show in Green Bay, that's exactly the next move he'd make ... telling TMZ Sports he'd give up a first-rounder for DK after the team traded away Adams.
We spoke with Butler just hours after Davante was officially shipped from Wisconsin to the Raiders -- and he told us while he understood the move, he thinks a corresponding one now needs to be made.
Specifically, he said the Packers should be on the phone with the Seahawks about DK.
"They're just giving everything away," Butler said of Seattle. "Give them a first-round pick."
Unclear if the Seahawks are willing to move Metcalf -- though after they just traded away Russell Wilson to Denver, Butler seems to think it'd be possible.
As for life without Adams in Green Bay, Butler didn't seem too stressed about losing the perennial All-Pro ... telling us he believes it'll force Aaron Rodgers to distribute the ball more evenly on the field.
And, when it comes to Rodgers' feelings about his top playmaker being dealt -- Butler says don't panic, telling us he's sure the QB is fine with it all at this point.

Carli Lloyd might be retired from football, but she could find another career in American football -- 'cause the U.S. soccer superstar tells TMZ Sports she's open to the idea of playing in the NFL!!
Of course, the 39-year-old World Cup champ and Olympic gold medalist went viral in 2019 ... when she was spotted nailing 55-yard field goals while hanging out with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Lloyd believes one position women can play in the NFL is kicker, and her confidence in that belief was reinforced after her experience with the Eagles.
"Yeah that was wild how that all unfolded," Lloyd said. "Something I never would've predicted would have happened. It was a cool day to go out there and just hit some field goals."
Lloyd said had it not been for her Olympic journey, she would have seriously entertained the idea of being an NFL kicker.
We also spoke with Lloyd about being the first female ambassador for USA Teqball (think Ping-Pong for soccer) ... and she attributes the pandemic -- as well as seeing guys like Beckham, Messi, and Ronaldinho playing the game for sparking her interest.
"I'm thrilled because it keeps me somewhat around the game in a little bit of a different fashion, but its a really, pretty amazing sport," Lloyd said.

Vernon Davis continues to win at retirement ... 'cause the former Pro Bowler turned FOX primetime TV show judge tells TMZ Sports he's having an absolute blast on the show!
"Let me tell you, this has been the most fun I've ever had building, creating these structures of dominos, and just learning the entire world of how it works has been nothing but phenomenal. My kids love it, I love it," the 38-year-old retired NFL star says.
Vernon, the 6th pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, is a judge on Domino Masters on FOX (Wednesday nights). The show's hosted by Eric Stonestreet ... and it's pretty incredible to see the structures the teams can build in a matter of hours.
They're so impressive, Davis -- who has made a splash in Hollywood since hanging up his pads (he's also in a Morgan Freeman movie) says he literally rushes to the studio to get to work.
"I would wake up in the morning rushing to work, driving really fast to get into the arena to make sure that I can continue to see how they build these structures out of dominos. It's beautiful, most beautiful thing I've ever seen."
In fact, Davis -- who played 14 seasons in the NFL -- likes it so much he's taken up the hobby with his children.
"I do it here in the house with the kids. Even when they're not here, I still do it. It's very rewarding when you build a structure and then you get back, you see like, 'Wow, I actually built this,' and then the way it falls. I don't know if you've seen it -- have you seen this show?"
