Former NFL tight end Lance Kendricks was busted for DUI in Santa Monica over the weekend … after cops say they found him knocked out in the driver’s seat with the engine running.

this publication Sports has learned … SMPD officers were dispatched around 2:15 AM on Sunday regarding a newer model Ford Bronco that was swerving.

Cops say they located the whip on Ocean Avenue and made contact with 34-year-old Kendricks, who they say was passed out.

Law enforcement sources tell us Kendricks eventually awoke and appeared drunk … and after conducting field sobriety tests, it was determined he had driven while intoxicated.

We’re told Kendricks took a breathalyzer … and blew over double the .08 legal limit.

Kendricks, who last played in the NFL in 2019, was booked on a DUI charge.

this publication Sports has obtained Kendricks’ mug shot … which shows the former tight end looking annoyed.

Kendricks played nine seasons in the NFL with St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams, Packers, and Chargers.
