Vince Young’s playing days ended in a haze of swirling rumors about problems with addiction and mental health. Eight years and multiple run-ins with law enforcement later, he’s opening up on the troubles that cut his would-be stellar NFL career short.

In an appearance on Houston’s Sports Radio 610, Young clarified that his recent stint at a rehabilitation facility wasn’t related to alcoholism as many assumed.

“A lot of people don’t know I went to rehab,” he said, per Pro Football Talk. “A lot of people think I went to rehab for drinking. No, I went to rehab to hit the reset button. I’m sick and tired. I’m tired. Sometimes you get tired. If you don’t get better for yourself and you don’t take it one day at a time or you just don’t worry about — today [is June] 28th, just worry about today. Everything else you’ve got going on, behind you, in front of you, stop worrying about all that.”

Young has been arrested twice in the last three years for driving while intoxicated – first in January 2016 near the University of Texas campus, and more recently in February in Fort Bend County, TX. He was subject to a small fine and community-service obligations for the initial offense, and released on $500 bond for the second.

Young signed with the Saskatchewan Rough Riders of the Canadian Football League in 2017, but was released after he tore his hamstring in the team’s final preseason game. He last appeared in the NFL in 2011 with the Philadelphia Eagles, just two years after earning his second Pro Bowl nod as a member of the Tennessee Titans.
