A first-round NFL draft pick from Georgia Tech was arrested on his way to training camp in Tennessee, according to reports.

Derrick Morgan, the Titans' top pick earlier this year, was pulled over on I-75 in north Georgia, according to tennessean.com. Morgan was traveling 91 mph in a 70 mph zone in Gordon County, Officer Raymond Holcomb told the newspaper Web site.

Morgan was charged with speeding and driving with a suspended license, according to the report. He posted bond and was released from jail a few hours later.

While at Tech, Morgan was the ACC defensive player of the year in 2009 following his junior year. Morgan led the ACC with 12.5 sacks to become the first Yellow Jacket to win the award.
