DEION WALKER - Hudl

Tennessee is showing interest.

As a freshman, Walker rushed 154 times for 1,259 yards with 19 touchdowns

He also had 300 receiving yards and three touchdowns in nine games.

The 5-foot-11, 201-pounder runs a 4.5-second 40-yard dash.

He's carrying a 3.25 GPA and is set to enroll in the college of his choice in January.

Walker will have three years to play two seasons of eligibility remaining.

Walker, 22, played his prep ball at Matthews, N.C./Butler, a powerhouse program in the Carolinas.

It was 5 years ago. He was driving without a license and failed to yield per the allegation.

Unless you know something about him beyond this article...

Driving without a license = a thug?!? Are you serious? It was a mistake, but not one that was any less likely to happen if he had his license. Nothing in that story mentions anything about being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or any intent to injure anyone.

A poor decision to drive without a license is akin to jaywalking. If Walker had been charged with jaywalking once, and then did it again a month later causing a tragic accident, is he a thug? Step off the high horse.

His mistake that killed a man??...think if it was your dad he killed, because he selfishly drove a car with no license not once but twice, surely you can understand how that might be someone who could be seen as hard to root for?

Lot of under and over reaction here.

Yes, it was a suspended license. Yes, that is fairly innocuous.

But someone died here. Hard for me to simply brush that aside...

This one is complicated.

Again, would having his license make this any more forgivable? Secondly, have you ever driven without a license? With an expired license? Expired tags? Driven 5 mph over the speed limit? Other than the obvious point that if he was following the law to a T, he would never be there to cause the accident, how would having had his license make this accident any more avoidable? It was an unfortunate accident, not a blatantly intentional act to cause harm, or even a grossly irresponsible act like driving under the influence. You and I have both done something equally as offensive behind the wheel of a car and fortunately escaped without incident.

I see your point and agree to an extent, but I think where we differ is that he had just previously been cited and paid no regard to the seriousness which resulted in selfishly climbing in the car again, because he felt his ride was more important that others safety, which cost a dad, husband and son his life. I have not driven with a suspended license but have been ticketed for turning left on a yellow...from then on I Have been more careful to left hand turns...

We'll have to agree to disagree. I have been ticketed for going 75 in a 70, and I routinely drive 75 to this day on the interstate. If that means I'm reckless and, God forbid, I am in an accident one day that results in a loss of life to someone else's family, I hope I'm not judged by the public like this kid has been because I didn't learn my lesson.

I think this is the best perspective on it. No easy answer.

That said, taking the emotion out: what is the difference between a licensed and non licensed driver? IMO, $30 and sitting at the DMV for 5 hours. What there makes you a better driver than the next guy.

Now, could his laziness in getting a license be transferred to him being lazy in his diligence of watching out while driving. Sure. But I'm not the kind that believes that someone is smarter or better in any regard because they were forced to fork money over to Uncle Sam.

Sometimes it's hard to take off the fan glasses.

He should sign here. No one will stir up a fuss for something a Tennessee player did YEARS AGO. :glare:

It could be something simple like parents would not sign a consent form. Underage drivers need parents permission to get a license...
