Addressing the Rumor
Hey Yardbarkers,
I'm sure you have heard or read the rumor that "I was arrested in Champaign, Illinois on June 9th" but I wanted to let you know that it is not true. The only explanation I have is that my wallet was stolen while I was still in school and someone might be impersonating me.
During the time I was "supposedly arrested," I was actually here in Florida at OTA's. I am fully dedicated to my football career and learning the playbook so that I can be affective this season. As I said before, I am very thankful to be a part of the Miami Dolphins and I do not want to do anything that would bring any negative publicity to me or the team.
LESSON TO BE LEARNED: YOU CAN'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR OR READ!!
God Bless!

comment my bad

That's ok Vontae. I wouldn't have been mad if it was you. Keep ya head up man, and have a great season.
-
Vontae, I have to know more about this!! Someone has to dig deeper to figure out what really happened. Was it really just lazy college reporters?
-
Hadn't heard about the arrest but glad you've been proactive in dispelling the rumor. Identity theft is no joke. I can imagine it's even more frustrating when you're a public figure.
Daniel Wilcox might want to amend his article about OTAs being a big waste of time. If nothing else, they're the perfect alibi! -
Unbelievable...just shows how careless some cops can be. How do you arrest a guy using someone else's license?
Happy to hear that this wasn't you, though. Don't pay attention to the folks trying to spread rumors - just keep your head in the playbook :) -
what if two people have the same name? I bet millions of john smith's are arrested... though I guess your name is pretty unique.
-
Yeah, I went to school with like 4 Vontaes. J/K you're the only Vontae I know of.
-
Hey Vontae, good to hear that you have cleared your name. Here is a humorous take on your "arrest". Hopefully you get a kick out of it.

Vontae, you need to get on Twitter, man. Does coach let the players do that?
Good luck this season. We all know you're gonna kick ass on the Phins! -
Thanks for addressing the rumor! you seem like a real respectable guy, hopefully you steer a lot of kids in the right direction.
-
Get em right Mr. Davis, Lol. Your 100% right keep your mind on that playbook, film and football but do take a break when necessary to get the record straight. Good luck this season yall are expected to do better than last which will be tough
-
Looking forward to follow you blog. It's hard being swedish and a Dolph-fan. Can't get the games on tv here... Best regards from Stockholm!
