DALLAS — The former financial adviser for ex-NFL quarterback Vince Young said he arranged a seven-figure loan for Young during the 2011 lockout because the player wanted to throw himself a $300,000 birthday party, though he was running low on funds.
Ronnie Peoples of Raleigh, N.C., said under oath during a videotaped deposition last month he contacted New York-based Pro Player Funding LLC about the loan after being informed that Young already had paid for the party.
The deposition was taken as part of a proceeding in which the former University of Texas star is challenging the validity of a $1.7 million judgment against him.
A transcript of the deposition was obtained by the Associated Press.
Young’s attorney says Peoples’ account is inaccurate.
