Tennessean.com is reporting that Vince Young is tired of all the pressure of being a NFL QB and may want to retire.
On Monday night, she saw 25-year-old Vince Young sink to his lowest point. It ended with Coach Jeff Fisher calling Metro Police to search for her son for over four hours, and opened the biggest window yet into the emotional and troubled side of the Titans quarterback.
Felicia Young said her son has grown weary of all the negativity he faces as an NFL star. On Monday, he indicated to those around him he didn’t want to play football any more.
“Vince has gone through a whole lot as a young person,’’ Felicia Young said. “And I think he has done pretty well up to this point. But it is hard, all he is going through right now. He’s hurting inside and out.
“But he will be fine if people are prayerful and help my baby boy out. He is a young man. He just needs a lot of love and support.’’
What a strange trip it’s been. To go from his performance against USC in the Rose Bowl to winning the Rookie of the Year when he entered the NFL, to leading his team to the playoffs in his sophomore season – it really seemed like Young’s star was on the rise. Then there were the rumors that he was thinking about retirement (a while ago) and now this disappearing act that caused Jeff Fisher to call the Nashville PD. Oh wait, it was an overreaction. But wait, his mom says he’s thinking about retiring again.
What is going on here?
I just hope the kid is okay.
