The Facts: After failing to latch on with an NFL team since 2011, Young has decided to call it a career. "It's definitely official I think in my book," Young said Saturday. "Unless we get a great opportunity, something guaranteed. ... Other than that I've started moving forward in some things."
Diehards Line:
Young said he plans to go work for the University of Texas in some capacity, the school he led to a BCS National Championship in 2005 while setting numerous university and BCS records. After the title win, Young sprung up draft boards and was selected by the Tennessee Titans No. 3 overall in the 2006 draft. He was impressive out of the gate, using the same skills he displayed at Texas -- arm strength, speed and athleticism -- to take defenses by storm. He was the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year and also earned Pro Bowl nod. Young made the Pro Bowl again in 2009, but was released by the Titans following the 2010 season after an altercation with Jeff Fisher. Young backed up Michael Vick in Philly in 2011, starting three games, but wasn't re-signed. He was on the offseason rosters of the Bills (2012) and Packers (2013), but he never played another NFL down.
