Titans defensive end Derrick Morgan was arrested in Georgia on Wednesday night on charges of speeding and driving with a suspended license.

Morgan was on his way back to Nashville for Thursday’s minicamp practice. He was pulled over on I-75 in Resaca, Ga., about 37 miles south of Chattanooga.

Gordon County police officer Raymond Holcomb said Morgan was traveling 91 mph in a 70 mph speed limit zone when he was pulled over by Resaca police just after 5 p.m.

Morgan’s bond was posted and he was released from jail roughly three hours later, Holcomb said. Morgan has a court date scheduled on July 26.

Titans Coach Jeff Fisher could not be reached for comment on Thursday.

The Titans selected Morgan, who lives in Atlanta and played at Georgia Tech, with their first-round pick in the NFL Draft this year.

He was an All-American performer at Georgia Tech, where he posted 19.5 quarterback sacks in his three seasons at the school. He was the Atlantic Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2009. Morgan has gotten off to a slow start with the Titans, limited in practices because of injuries to a

hamstring and a calf.

Paulitik I must say you do ride for your boi, I can't help but to respect!

What can I say, it's the first time I ever knew exactly who I wanted to draft 4 months prior and got him. I just had a feeling about the guy. When I saw him cover McCluster in the Senior Bowl, I knew he was perfect for us.

Better him than you

For real, he moved to Nashville in '90, I stayed behind in Macon with Mom. He changed loyalties, when the Oilers moved to town. He's a finance guy, so he goes to a lot of games with clients. I guess that's how he rationalizes it.

I haven't lived in GA since '05, and I'll never change teams. Win or lose, I'm a Falcon for life.

Driving with a suspended license. Wonder what it was suspended for?

Not surprising Morgan has calf and hamstring injuries, he looked like he was on steroids in pics i saw of him pre-draft, like a body-builder. That body-type doesnt last long in the NFL.

yea because Georgia Tech is known for its massive steroid scandle,

whatever dude :rolleyes:
