The Miami Herald reports that Ronnie Brown was arrested in Atlanta late Friday night on suspicion of DUI. Brown was initially pulled over for changing lanes without signaling and “did not perform well” during field-sobriety tests. Brown has no prior record or history of off-field issues, so this shouldn’t lead to an NFL suspension. It may, however, affect the Miami Dolphins‘ view of Brown as he enters a contract season. The team begins its offseason conditioning program on Monday.

Elsewhere around the NFL:

Minnesota: Vikings coach Brad Childress reiterated that he’d be OK with Albert Young as the No. 2 back, but added that he’s always looking to see what’s out there. It wasn’t exactly a ringing endorsement for Young, who went undrafted out of Iowa last year. Although the Minnesota Vikings lost out on LaDainian Tomlinson and don’t want Brian Westbrook, Young will almost certainly face competition for the gig. The Vikings could end up turning to the draft for Adrian Peterson’s backup.

Minnesota: Vikings coach Brad Childress said he may pay Brett Favre another visit soon, “but not in the near future.” The Vikings are putting no pressu re whatsoever on Favre as he enjoys his offseason. Childress has been texting with Favre and according to NFL.com’s Jason La Canfora, there is a sense of optimism within the organization that Favre will return for the 2010 season.

2010 NFL Draft: Browns president Mike Holmgren admitted that he isn’t high on Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen. “You know how you have a type of player that you like? It’s not scientific. People like him a lot. He’ll go high,” Holmgren said. “But it would be hard for me [to take him].” Holmgren reiterated that he will take a quarterback in the draft, but it probably won’t be until late.
