The ESPN NFL analyst and former New York Jets head coach was arrested in Nashville after allegedly hitting two pedestrians with his pickup truck late last week.\n\nAccording to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, Ryan was making a turn at an intersection where two pedestrians had a walk signal. His truck allegedly ran over both of their feet, with contact also reportedly made with one victim's leg. Ryan kept driving, though he later stopped at a red light, where the pedestrians caught up with him and argued with him before he drove off again.\n\nThe victims photographed Ryan's license plate and called police, which led investigators to trace the truck back to him. Ryan ultimately turned himself in for booking, surrendering on six outstanding misdemeanor warrants connected to the incident.\n\nRyan, known for his colorful personality during his coaching days with the Jets and later as a television analyst, now faces the fallout from the arrest as the case moves through the legal process.","published_at":"2026-11-11T18:49:13.231848+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Awful Announcing","publisher":"Awful Announcing","title":"Rex Ryan arrested after allegedly hitting pedestrians with truck","url":"https://awfulannouncing.com/espn/rex-ryan-arrested-after-hitting-pedestrians-with-truck.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"ESPN analyst Rex Ryan arrested after allegedly striking 2 pedestrians with his truck, running over their feet","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/espn-analyst-rex-ryan-arrested-after-allegedly-striking-2-pedestrians-with-his-truck-running-over-their-feet-170156903.html"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Rex Ryan arrested for allegedly running over pedestrians’ feet in heated Nashville scene","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/11/11/sports/rex-ryan-arrested-for-allegedly-running-over-pedestrians-feet/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rex Ryan arrested for allegedly running over pedestrians’ feet in heated Nashville scene","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/rex-ryan-arrested-allegedly-running-165524853.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Everybody makes same Rex Ryan joke after his arrest for allegedly running over feet of 2 pedestrians with truck","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/everybody-makes-same-rex-ryan-172104052.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Former NFL Coach Rex Ryan Arrested After Being Accused of Running Over Pedestrians’ Feet in His Truck","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/former-nfl-coach-rex-ryan-171327662.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rex Ryan arrested after hitting pedestrians in truck","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/rex-ryan-arrested-hitting-pedestrians-171515405.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rex Ryan turns himself in after alleged Nashville hit-and-run injured 2 pedestrians, police say","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/rex-ryan-turns-himself-alleged-171536235.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rex Ryan Turns Himself In to Nashville Police","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/rex-ryan-turns-himself-nashville-171706622.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Why was Rex Ryan arrested in Nashville?","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/why-rex-ryan-arrested-nashville-172056994.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"ESPN analyst Rex Ryan charged after alleged hit-and-run with pedestrians","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/espn-analyst-rex-ryan-charged-172723656.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Former NFL head coach Rex Ryan arrested by Nashville police for allegedly striking two pedestrians with truck","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/former-nfl-head-coach-rex-ryan-arrested-nashville-police-striking-two-pedestrians-truck/"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"ESPN’s Rex Ryan arrested in Nashville after hitting pedestrians, leaving scene","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7773731/2026/11/11/rex-ryan-arrested-news-accident-feet-nashville/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"ESPN analyst Rex Ryan charged after alleged hit-and-run with pedestrians","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/espn-analyst-rex-ryan-charged-175412536.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Former Jets head coach Rex Ryan arrested in Nashville","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/former-jets-head-coach-rex-181709457.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Rex Ryan Turns Himself In After Alleged Nashville Hit-and-Run Incident: Reports","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/rex-ryan-turns-himself-alleged-182659277.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"ESPN analyst Rex Ryan arrested after hitting two pedestrians in Nashville and driving off, police say","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/espn-analyst-rex-ryan-arrested-191337212.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://cdn1.thecomeback.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/94/2026/11/rexryan.png","credit":"Awful Announcing","width":1756},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
