The song "Speed Does Kill" wasn't just created to make Derek's highlights unique, it was a method of motivation for Derek going in to the off-season prior to his Senior year. You have to understand, for many years, Derek was playing sports all year round.He was stuck in a never-ending loop, relying mostly on his freakish size coupled with his god-given talents to get him by. While Derek loved basketball (I coached him and various school and AAU teams for many years), he decided not to play his Junior year to focus all of his efforts on football.
