At one point in his career, Knowshon Moreno was one of the top RBs in the NFL but faded this year in Denver due to his lack of productivity during the course of the season. He was then benched in favor of Willis McGahee, then his season ended in Week 10 with a knee injury. Since he did not get enough attention during the course of the season, Moreno decided to seek one beyond belief.
Moreno brought major attention to himself on the highway by driving a bentley convertible(70MPH), and to top it off the his license plate read “SAUCED.” The word “SAUCED” is a terminology used in the hip-hop community that basically means drunk. Unless there is a different meaning elsewhere that i’m unaware of, i’m positive that is the true definition of the term. Maybe in Moreno’s world, the term has a different meaning, however this wasn’t the case when he drove his bentley through a construction zone.
Via Lindsay H. Jones of the Denver Post:
Moreno, 24, was pulled over Feb. 1 while driving a Bentley at about 70 mph on Interstate 25 near Quincy Avenue and Union Avenue, according to a report by Denver television station KDVR-31. The posted speed limit in the area usually is 65 mph but is currently posted at 45 mph because it’s a construction zone.
Police gave Moreno a breath test and a field sobriety test and took the former Georgia star to a detox facility. He was charged with DUI, failing to have insurance and careless driving. He is scheduled to be arraigned March 2, court records state.
The personalized license plate on the car Moreno was driving read “SAUCED,” according to KDVR-31.
The Broncos released a statement saying that they’re aware of the incident and will continue to gather information. Just as soon as they’ve stopped laughing at his license plate.
Moreno was drafted 12th overall in 2009
