Felony charges from Anderson's arrest in January had previously been dropped.

Anderson was arrested on Jan. 19 on suspicion of multiple charges after he allegedly failed to yield during a traffic stop. The felony charge for reckless driving was downgraded to a misdemeanor.

The 25-year-old Anderson was arrested in Sunrise, Fla., after allegedly driving 105 mph in a 45-mph zone and running two red lights while speeding away from police.

Anderson led the Jets in receiving last season, catching 63 passes for 941 yards and seven touchdowns.
