Former NFL player Mack Herron is in police custody after being charged with heroin possession in Chicago.
The 62-year-old played for the Patriots in the 1970s and Kansas State before that. The team's web site says he set a 1974 NFL record with 2,444 all-purpose yards, shattering a 1966 record held by Bears legend Gale Sayers.
Chicago police say Herron has been arrested some 20 times and served jail time, mainly on drug convictions.
