Lane Kiffin disappointed arrested Vols weren't fast enough to run away from police
Two of Lane Kiffin's most prized recruits, safety Janzen Jackson and receiver Nu'Keese Richardson, were among three Tennessee football players arrested early Thursday morning in Knoxville on chargers of attempted robbery. "This is very disappointing," said Kiffin. "Janzen and Nu'Keese were brought into the program because of their speed. I had them around 4.3 or 4.4 in the 40. And they can't run fast enough to get away from some fat Knoxville cops? I don't know what happened." Kiffin says he will review the facts of the case, but doesn't expect to see any of his arrested players on the field anytime soon. "Again, if they're not fast enough to evade police, I can't put them on the field in an SEC game. They'll have no chance."
