Speed is usually a terrific thing for an SEC cornerback to have, but not while in a car in possession of marijuana sans insurance, like recent Alabama transfer and former All-American Eli Ricks was Sunday afternoon.

The 6-foot-2 defensive back from California was charged with speeding, driving without insurance, and possession of marijuana.
He started his collegiate career at LSU, earning Freshman All-SEC and AP All-America honors. But he entered the transfer portal in November—shortly after the school fired head coach Ed Orgeron.
