Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White has been arrested for failure to appear in court.

White had an outstanding warrant relating to charges for "non-transparent material on windows" of his car, but failed to appear at court to face the traffic charge, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

The 32-year-old was arrested in the early hours of Tuesday morning before being released on bond at 6am, Gwinnett County Jail confirmed.

White was a first-round Draft pick for the Falcons in 2005 and has since gone on to become the team's all-time leader in receiving yards.

The four-time Pro Bowler had 63 catches for 711 yards last season, scoring three touchdowns as the Falcons stuttered to a 4-12 record.
