Patrick Peterson Says DeSean Jackson And Mike Wallace Have 'Crackhead Speed'

In a world where everything has to be PC, and people just wait for you to mess up, this is probably a misstep.

Now I personally don't see anything wrong with this comment, but I also don't know how it makes sense. Patrick Peterson of the Arizona Cardinals might be in a little bit of hot water.

Peterson was a guest on the Dan Patrick Radio Show and was asked to talk about the fastest WRs he has faced in the NFL.

Peterson offered a couple of players, listing the Washington Redskins' DeSean Jackson and the Miami Dolphins' Mike Wallace.

He said they have "crackhead speed."

I don't know that crackheads really have breakaway speed, but I'm sure people will turn this into some type of race issue.

Remember when Gus Johnson said Chris Johnson had "getting away from cops speed?" Everyone flipped out about that. What will the reaction be to Peterson's comments?
