NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Titans defensive end Jevon Kearse has been arrested and charged with driving under the influence after a traffic stop near the Vanderbilt University campus.

Vanderbilt spokesman Jim Patterson said Kearse was stopped early Sunday morning after campus police reported seeing the SUV that Kearse was driving weaving across the road.

Patterson says Kearse took a field sobriety test, but refused a breathalyzer. He was arrested and charged with DUI and violation of Tennessee's implied consent law for failing to take the breathalyzer test. Officials said Kearse was released later in the morning.

A call to the Titans was not immediately returned. A spokesman for Kearse's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said Kearse had no comment.

Kearse, the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1999 with the Titans, re-signed with the club in the offseason after spending the last four years with the Philadelphia Eagles.

I have never seen someone's actually get worse every year they played. Look at his sacks from the time her came in the NFL. If you throw 2002 out since he played in only 2 games, he has declined every year except for last year and 2004/2005 when he matched the year before.

1999 14.5
2000 11.5
2001 10.0
2002 2.0 (only played 2 games)
2003 9.5
2004 7.5
2005 7.5
2006 3.5
2007 3.5

The usual starplayerfromstateofFlorida/Rosenhaus association.

Kearse has battled knee problems for years. When healthy, he was a truly great fooyball player.

Inexcusable, especially for an athlete worth millions. Call a limo, at least a cab. Pocket change for these guys.
