There’s something about Rex Ryan and feet, huh?
Former NFL head coach Rex Ryan, who has a foot fetish, has turned himself in to police for allegedly running over two pedestrians’ feet with his car in Nashville and fleeing the scene, Nashville police said Wednesday.
Two pedestrians suffered minor injuries after Ryan allegedly ran over their feet while turning at a red light as they crossed a street with the right of way in a popular downtown Nashville area, Nashville police said.

Ryan, who currently works as an NFL analyst for ESPN, was charged with two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, two counts of failing to give information or render aid and two counts of failing to obey a traffic control signal, according to court records, which did not identify an attorney for Ryan. All the charges were misdemeanors, and a judicial commissioner set his bond at $6,000.
“We are aware and are in touch with Rex,” ESPN told OutKick in a statement.
The 63-year-old was granted pretrial release Wednesday morning. Ryan is scheduled to appear in court next month.

Ryan will find himself in a different kind of headline involving feet after turning himself in.
In 2010, Ryan went viral for recording a video of his wife’s feet and has admitted that his wife has gorgeous feet. He called himself an expert on feet during a 2022 appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.”
Unfortunately, his pickup truck’s tires allegedly have a fetish for feet, too.
Ryan was a head coach in the NFL for eight seasons, spending six with the New York Jets and two with the Buffalo Bills. He reached the AFC Championship Game with the Jets in both the 2009 and 2010 seasons.
In six seasons with the Jets, he went 46-50. With the Bills, he did not make the playoffs and was fired after Week 16 of his second season. He went 15-16 with Buffalo.
Ryan joined ESPN in April 2017 as an NFL analyst. He appeared Monday on “Get Up,” ESPN’s morning show taped in New York.
