…and I don’t mean on the field.
According to the Tennessean, Morgan was pulled over for going 91 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone and then was hauled off to jail because of a suspended license. He was apparently driving back to Nashville from Georgia to get to one of the Titans’ OTAs.
“Made an honest mistake, had no idea my license was suspended from an unpaid ticket 5 months ago, notices were sent to an old address,’’ Morgan wrote. “not letting this get in the way of our team goals and going to continue to maintain focus, sorry to all the fans, and I will learn from this.’’
The Titans are having themselves one hell of an offseason. Chris Johnson is pissed about his contract, Vince Young is beating people up in strip clubs at three in the morning and now their first round pick is getting arrested for driving on a suspended license. Jeff Fisher must be thrilled.
That said, I think we’ve all done a few 91s in a 70 before. While he still should have used better judgment, this incident doesn’t make Morgan a bad egg. If he puts in the work this offseason and stays out of trouble, then nobody is going to remember this come the regular season.
It sounds like the kid needs some driving lessons, though. Two tickets in the last five months? Slow down, check all of our mirrors and hands at 10 and 2, Derrick.
