Vince Young was released by the Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers and the latest the Cleveland Browns all before week 1 of each NFL season. Now he’s decided to officially hang it up and retire, well sort of…
“It’s definitely official I think in my book,” Young said. “Unless we get a great opportunity, something guaranteed, . . . other than that I’ve started moving forward in some things.
“I love the NFL, will love the game always but I’m kind of moving forward and moving on right now.”
Young is retiring and ready to take a job with the University of Texas. He’s still holding out hope that an NFL opportunity will come his way but he also feels he’s been blackballed because of a past transgression.
He said he thought his early spat with Titans coach Jeff Fisher hurt his reputation in later years.
“I had my ups and downs,” he said. “I made the mistake of getting in to it with my coach and that kind of hurt me a whole lot. When you go to different teams, they already have a bad perception of you. When that’s out there, there’s nothing you can do.”
