Heartbreaking: Vince Young Texas longhorns football legend Just Passed Away At the Aged of 41…see..more..From those first ragged schoolyards of south Houston to the tidy fields where high school teams battle for local bragging rights to the brightly colored and traditional grounds where college stars try to make their name, Vince Young showed nothing if not limitless promise. Give him the ball, let him do his thing.
But six years after Young stood gloriously on center stage in a packed Rose Bowl, having taken his team 56 yards in under two minutes to win the national championship of college football, one of the University of Texas’ greatest stars has no team and apparently not much of the $45-plus million that came his way after he signed a professional contract.
The last drive that sealed his status as a Houston legend remains the defining moment of his career. This summer, he failed to earn a job with his third NFL team, the Buffalo Bills, and now he finds himself locked in nasty lawsuits involving his uncle – the man who helped raise him – his former agent and the men who oversaw his finances and secured a loan with a company that provided money to NFL players during the 2011 labor lockout from March to July.
