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.〔http://www.nfl.com/probowl/story/09000d5d80036518/article/rookie-young-comfortable-at-pro-bowl〕 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.
==Early years==
Young grew up in the Hiram Clarke neighborhood of Houston, Texas, where he was primarily raised by his mother and his grandmother. His father, Vincent Young Sr., missed much of Vince's college career due to a 2003 burglary conviction and prison sentence.〔Robbins, Kevin "(Watching a Stranger with a Father's Eyes )" ''Los Angeles Times'', December 31, 2005.〕 Young credits his mother and grandmother for keeping him away from the street gangs. At the age of 7, 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. Vince Young wore the number 10 to show love and respect for his mother, Felicia Young, whose birthday is June 10.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vince Young Day in Houston, Texas – Jan. 10, 2006 )〕 Young attended Dick Dowling Middle School in Hiram Clarke.〔Lomax, John Nova. "(Houston 101: The Short Happy Life of Dick Dowling )." ''Houston Press''. Wednesday August 26, 2009. Retrieved on October 26, 2011. "()and a middle school with 99 percent minority enrollment (Vince Young's alma mater) out in the Hiram Clarke area."〕 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.〔Frias, Carlos. "(YOUNG STILL TROUBLESOME )." ''Palm Beach Post''. Tuesday January 3, 2006. 2CC. "Or where several of his gang member friends in Houston, the "Hiram Clarke Boys," ended up. In the ground. "〕
