9 p.m. update: In a statement published Monday evening in his Facebook account, former University of Texas quarterback Vince Young apologized to the people who look up to him and his employers for his driving while intoxicated arrest Sunday night.
“Regardless of the outcome of the pending investigation, I would like my friends, family and fans to know that I do not condone drinking and driving in any way whatsoever,” Young said in the statement. “I am very disappointed in myself and I am sorry for any conduct that has made this legal process necessary. I specifically want to apologize to the young men & women who look up to me as a role model and to my employers at the University of Texas and the Longhorn Network. Please let this be a lesson to you all and a moment for you to learn from. As a public figure, I take very seriously my obligation to set an example for others to learn from.”
