E3 Gossip: Vince Young

For the first time this year, the people at EA Sports elected to put a retired player on the cover of their Madden video game. Unbeknownst to them, they almost did the same thing last year. Vince Young was ready to quit football after his rookie year.
He doesn't go into great detail about the reasons, but he did tell Thomas George of NFL.com that things were once so bad for him that retirement was a viable option.

"I really thought long and hard about it. There was so much going on with my family. It was crazy being an NFL quarterback. It wasn't fun anymore. All of the fun was out of it. All of the excitement was gone. All I was doing was worrying about things." "My teammates helped lift me out of it. I prayed really hard. And I began to focus on God's calling for me. Play football. Be a role model."

Tennessee Titan QB and 2006 NFL Rookie of the Year, Vince Young had a photo spread in the October 2007 issue King magazine where he discusses his fashion sense: “I was raised by five ladies. Growing up, I’d be worrying about who’s in the mirror taking all day to get their clothes on. Now, I’ve picked up that habit. I just like to look good. What I wear depends on what the function is. I always look at it from a marketing standpoint. When you see me being interviewed, you can see that I speak well and dress nicely. When it comes to having business meetings, I come in the same way. That’s my image.” He also admitted to changing outfits several times before leaving the house. It’s good to see a man who takes pride in his appearance.
