Former NFL quarterback Vince Young has had an interesting life and exhibited some bizarre behavior at times since retiring from the NFL in 2014.
The 40-year-old Texas Longhorns legend was back in the news again this week after it was revealed that he was involved in a wild bar fight that ended when he appeared to get knocked out.
Young, who actually last played in the NFL in 2011 for the Philadelphia Eagles, was involved in an incident inside Tokyo Joe’s Shot Bar in Houston, Texas at around 9 PM on Feb. 4, according to TMZ.
Video of the bar fight, obtained by TMZ, shows Young dressed in a white hat, black shirt and shorts and another man getting into a verbal altercation with some other bar patrons.
The argument then escalates and the Rose Bowl Hall of Famer is seen shoving several people.
One of those people is then seen throwing his drink into another person’s face, who turned out to be the bar’s owner, and then connecting with an elbow to the bar owner’s head.
As the fight, which saw numerous punches thrown, appears to just about to die down, Vince Young gets clocked by one of the men, dropping him to floor and appearing to knocked out cold.
Young, who eventually gets back to his feet in the video, was not charged with any crimes, despite the Houston Police Department responding to the scene of the fight.
According to the bar owner, the argument began during a conversation about race and escalated when he asked the men to leave the establishment.
Young, who attempted a pro football comeback with the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders cut short by an injury in 2017, holds numerous college and University of Texas football records including being the first player in NCAA I-A history to pass for 3,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in the same season.
