Vince Young found himself in some trouble on Monday when he was arrested in Fort Bend County, Texas for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI), according to TMZ Sports. As per the report, Young was put in a Fort Bend County jail but was eventually released when he posted bond. The arrest took place at around 4 A.M. but there are no other details concerning the arrest. TMZ even reached out to Young's people for a response but there has been radio silence thus far.

Young has found himself in this position before. Back in 2016 Young was pulled over and arrested for Driving Under the Influence (DUI). That arrest occurred in Austin, Texas and was made because Young was spotted driving frantically. According to TMZ, Young pled no contest to that arrest and ended up being given 18 months probation. 

The video below from TMZ shows the arrest from 2016 taking place via police dash cam. 

After a successful college career at the University of Texas, Young went on to play six seasons in the NFL from 2006-2011. Five of those seasons were with the Tennessee Titans while his last season was a short six-game stint with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Stay tuned for any updates on Young's situation.
