Vince Young

Vincent Paul Young, Jr. (born May 18, 1983) is a former American football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL) for six seasons. Young was drafted by the Tennessee Titans with the third overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. He spent the first five seasons of his career with the Titans. In his rookie season, Young was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and was invited to join the AFC Pro Bowl team after San Diego's Philip Rivers had to pull out because of an injury and other quarterbacks either declined the invitation or were injured. In 2009, Young earned his second Pro Bowl selection and was named Sporting News NFL Comeback Player of the Year.

Young played college football for the University of Texas. As a junior, he won the Davey O'Brien Award, awarded annually to the best college quarterback in the nation. He finished second behind Reggie Bush in Heisman Trophy voting. After the Heisman voting, Young led his team to a BCS National Championship against the defending BCS national champion USC Trojans and running back Reggie Bush in the 2006 Rose Bowl. It was one of the most-anticipated games in the history of college football. Texas retired Young's jersey on August 30, 2008.
