Inside Scoop on WR Derek Kief: The Method Behind the Madness of "Speed Does Kill"

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.

Details: 2014 WR Derek Kief's Upcoming Unofficial Overnight to #Alabama #RollTide

#10 Derek Kief from La Salle High School in Cincinnati Ohio leaves on Saturday for Tuscaloosa, AL with an entourage of family members.  Derek along with 6 family members (including myself) will spend the entire visit from June 8th to June 11th in Tuscaloosa.  We will have the opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the city, the academic programs, the athletic facilities and The Process.

While the family will be staying in a nearby hotel, Derek will be spending as much time on campus and overnight with the players.

Roll Tide.
