How much did that mean in the NFL?
That was a pretty special performance as well, you are correct. Young's issues were with his head more than skill. He had serious mental and work ethic issues from the jump. He was rookie of the year in 2006, but he actually considered retiring after his rookie season. Things started to go sideways after the rookie year as reports basically say he became distant and didn't really put work in anymore. He had police called on him in 08 after told his therapist he was considering suicide and at that point his career was basically done. He had a falling out with Jeff Fisher and that was about all she wrote.
