Former NFL star quarterback Vince Young appeared to get knocked unconscious from a suckerpunch during a bar fight in Houston last month, per TMZ.

The incident occurred on Feb. 9, where surveillance footage showed a scrum initially start involving Young, who was wearing a black t-shirt and white hat.

It appeared Young was being held back by someone, but shoving started to occur, which escalated the entire situation.

Things started to get more violent as the scrum moved its way around the circular bar, and one man was seen throwing punches at someone trying to walk out of the establishment.

It was that same man who clocked Young with a right hook when he wasn’t expecting it, and Young hit the ground immediately.
