"Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno was arrested last week in Denver on a drunken driving charge. The Broncos issued a statement Monday acknowledging the arrest of the 2009 first-round draft pick.

"We take the incident involving Knowshon Moreno very seriously and are thoroughly reviewing this matter," the team's statement said. "Our organization will continue to gather information and closely monitor this issue while the legal process runs its course."

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."
