Getty ImagesRuben Brown, a nine-time Pro Bowler who spent 13 NFL seasons with the Bills and the Bears, was arrested Friday night in Hamburg, New York for DWI, following too closely, and imprudent speed, according to WKBW.com.
Brown rear-ended another vehicle, causing minor injuries to the other driver.
Said Brown after the incident on Twitter: “I have to apologize to everyone. I will have to work hard to regain the respect you gave me. Thankful everyone is alive.”
The 14th pick in the 1995 draft, Brown spent nine years with the Bills and four with the Bears.

who cares? are you gonna reset the blotter with this one?
Ruben is lucky the people he hit only had minor injuries. However even a whip lash lawsuit will take his last $100K…
News flash!!!! If you are a current or past NFL player. DONT DRINK N DRIVE!!! Stop being idiots and driving around drunk. Havent you learned anything yet…? Is it ignorance or stupidity?
What are the Bears going to do without Rueben Brown’s blocking this season?
He is good guy actually. I’ve been around him a number of times and he doesn’t have that “I am better than you because I play football attitude”.
Besides, you know he is a good guy if he stayed in WNY. It is an armpit!
It’s only bruck bribing if you get caught! *hiccup
Just another moron.
Damn Ruben, you figure he would know better than to drink and drive here in Western, NY. I know people make mistakes, but man Ruben, you picked a bad day to do it. We have an important home game today!
No excuse here, but you’d be hard pressed to find a better citizen and human being. I have no doubt he WILL earn that respect back.
The sad thing is, the Bears could probably sign him….TODAY….and he’d STILL be better than a majority of their starting OL!!!!
