WATCH: Texas Football Legend Vince Young Sucker-Punched in Bar Fight

Security footage caught legendary Texas Longhorns quarterback Vince Young getting knocked to the floor during a bar fight in February.

AUSTIN -- Security footage caught legendary Texas Longhorns quarterback Vince Young getting mixed up with some flying fists during a February bar fight in Houston, and he appeared to get the brunt of the damage.

In video provided by TMZ, Young can be seen getting into the face of a man at Tokyo Joe's Shot Bar before being held back by two others that were with him. Following some pushing, some of the other men in the group started throwing punches after one of the guys that appeared to be with Young tossed a drink at a man's face.

Young got caught in the middle as the shoving moved to the other side of the bar. This is when one of the men can be seen landing a quick punch on Young's face, which immediately knocks him to the floor. The unnamed man who delivered the blow is then seen walking away right after.

Take a look at the video here.

It's unclear if any sort of charges were made.

Young, 40, is a Houston native. He grew up in the Hiram Clarke area southwest of downtown close to NRG Stadium. After starring at Madison High School, he arrived to Austin in 2002. The rest is history.

Young played three seasons under coach Mack Brown, leading Texas to a BCS National Championship during the 2005 season before becoming the No. 3 overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans a few months later. He set multiple program records at Texas and is just one of six Longhorns to have his football jersey number retired.

He last played in the NFL as a backup with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011 before signing short offseason deals with the Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers, and Cleveland Browns despite never appearing in a game for any of the three.
