Vince Young is one of the most renowned college football players in recent history for his heroic performance leading Texas to victory over USC in the 2006 National Championship game, but success in college doesn’t always translate to success in the NFL. As a rookie for the Tennessee Titans, Young struggled as a passer with 13 interceptions against just 12 touchdowns, but he also set a new record for rushing yards as a rookie quarterback and added 7 rushing touchdowns, resulting in Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. Over the next few years, though, Young declined as a rusher and never improved as a passer, and he last played in the NFL in 2011.
