Timeline
Vincent Paul Young Jr. (born May 18, 1983) is an American former football quarterback who played for six seasons in the National Football League (NFL).
Young enrolled at the University of Texas, where he played for coach Mack Brown's Texas Longhorns football team from 2002 to 2005.
Young redshirted his freshman year.
His father, Vincent Young Sr., missed much of Vince's college career due to a 2003 burglary conviction and prison sentence.
Young credits his mother and grandmother for keeping him away from the street gangs.
At the age of seven, Young was struck by a vehicle while riding his bicycle at the corner of Tidewater and Buxley, streets in his Houston neighborhood.
The accident nearly killed him, leaving him hospitalized for months after the bicycle's handle bar went into his stomach.
Today, he credits this event for making him into a "tougher" individual.
Young wore the #10 to show love and respect for his mother, Felicia Young, whose birthday is June 10.
Some of Young's friends were a part of the "Hiram Clarke Boys", a local street gang; many of those friends died as a result of their activities.
Young's mother confronted him after he had been involved in a fight between gangs, and told him that he needed to change his behavior.
"You can't turn on a television in Houston without seeing Vince Young. You might see him more than the Texans. He was like LeBron James in Houston when he was coming out of high school."
Young was coached by Ray Seals at Madison High School in Houston, where he started at quarterback for three years and compiled 12,987 yards of total offense during his high school career.
During his senior season, he led his Madison Marlins to a 61–58 victory in the 5A Regionals over the previously undefeated Galena Park North Shore Mustangs, accounting for more than 400 yards of total offense, while passing for three touchdowns and rushing for two more before a crowd of 45,000 in the Houston Astrodome.
After beating Missouri City Hightower 56–22 in the state quarterfinals, Houston Madison faced Austin Westlake in the state semifinals.
Although Young completed 18 of 30 passes for 400 yards and five touchdowns and rushed for 92 yards (on 18 carries) and a touchdown, Houston Madison lost by a score of 48–42.
Among the honors Young received in high school were:
Young was also a varsity athlete in numerous other sports.
In basketball, he played as a guard/forward and averaged more than 25 points per game over his career.
This allowed him to be a four-year letterman and two-time all-district performer.
In track and field, he was a three-year letterman and member of two district-champion 400-meter relay squads.
In baseball, he played for two seasons, spending time as both an outfielder and pitcher.
He also made the all-state team in football and in track.
As a redshirt freshman during the 2003 season, Young was initially second on the depth chart behind Chance Mock.
However, Mock was benched halfway through the season (in the game against Oklahoma) in favor of Young.
Young was selected by the Tennessee Titans as the third overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, and he was also selected to be the Madden NFL 08 cover athlete.
Young played college football for the Texas Longhorns, and is often mentioned among the greatest quarterbacks in NCAA history.
As a junior, he received the Davey O'Brien Award, given 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 Bush's defending BCS national champion USC Trojans in the 2006 Rose Bowl, a game lauded as one of the most-anticipated and greatest in the history of college football.
Texas retired Young's jersey on August 30, 2008.
He spent the first five seasons of his career with the Titans where he compiled a 30–17 starting record.
In his rookie season, Young was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and was named to the AFC Pro Bowl team as a reserve.
In 2009, Young earned his second Pro Bowl selection and was named Sporting News NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
He later played one year as a backup with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011 and had offseason stints with the Buffalo Bills, the Green Bay Packers, and Cleveland Browns from 2012 to 2014.
In 2017, he attempted a comeback in the Canadian Football League with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, but was released before the season began.
Young grew up in the 4th Ward and Hiram Clarke neighborhoods of Houston, Texas, where he was primarily raised by his mother and his grandmother.
