Former University of Texas quarterback and NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Vince Young has signed with Houston-based agent Brian Overstreet, writes Mark Berman of MyFoxHouston.com.
Young has not played in the NFL since his stint with the 2011 Eagles, who he affectionately referred to as a “Dream Team.” Before that he had short stays with both the Packers and the Bills. Of course, he was drafted by the Titans in the 2006 NFL Draft, and hit the ground running. He was 8-5 as a starter on the way to winning his Rookie of the Year Award. He played in two Pro Bowls, in 2007 and 2010.
Berman writes that Young spoke on Wednesday saying he had received some interest from NFL teams.
“I’ve been getting some calls, some interest. You never know what’s going to happen with that. I have my agent out there working,” said Young. “I’ve been training since January out in San Diego and back now in Texas. Just staying ready, might get a call. All I can do is my part and stay ready.”
Young reportedly has a job waiting for him at his alma mater, the University of Texas, if he is not able to reboot his NFL career. Young has no interest in playing in the Canadian Football League, writes Berman.
