Vince Young Brutally Punched During Bar Fight: VIDEO

Vince Young got absolutely rocked during a February bar fight in Texas.

TMZ released footage Tuesday morning of the former Texas Longhorns and NFL QB involved in an altercation at Tokyo Joe's Shot Bar in Houston, Texas back on February 4th.

The video shows a group of men jawing, pushing and shoving and then things escalate. At one point, a man standing near Young landed a clean shot directly on his face.

The Texas legend hit the deck like a sack of potatoes and appeared to have his lights briefly switched off. You can watch the insane footage below, and hit me with your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

Vince Young punched during bar brawl.

I'll share with you all some free advice that I was once given at a younger age. Don't get into fights because you simply don't know what people are capable of.

Vince Young appears to be the biggest guy involved by a significant margin, and it made no difference. A much smaller guy laid him out with a single punch.

It reminds me of the brawl involving a couple MMA guys and an Oklahoma football player. Granted, Young got hit with a bit of a cheap shot, and that infamous bathroom beatdown was more straight up. You can watch that legendary video here.

TMZ noted that it's not entirely sure what was said to spark this entire melee, but what is clear is that Vince Young got it handed to him. He got it handed to him in a way that you rarely see caught on camera. Dude went down like it was a curtain call.

Don't get in fights, folks. It's never worth it. A wise man knows when to leave a dangerous situation. Arrogance and ego lead you down a path you don't want to. That's not me saying Young started it. It's simply a fact. Learn to put one foot in front of the other and walk the hell away.
