Texas junior quarterback Vince Young plans to enter the NFL draft and forgo his final year of college, a close family friend said today. Young plans to make the announcement this afternoon at a press conference in Austin.
"He has the blessing of God, the pastor and his family," said Yolanda Lezine, Young's godmother and the family media's spokeswoman. "It's his decision. Everybody is going to support him a 110 percent."
Young capped off his career Wednesday night, rallying the Longhorns from a 12-point deficit in the fourth quarter to defeat two-time defending national champion Southern California, 41-38, in the Rose Bowl.
The Madison product will hire Bus Cook as his agent. Cook is also the agent for Tennessee quarterback Steve McNair, Young's mentor, and Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre.
Young finished with 467 all-purpose yards – 200 rushing and 267 passing – in what some are calling one of the greatest performances in college football history. He is the first player in NCAA history to rush for 1,000 yards (1,050) and pass for 3,000 yards (3,036) in a season. In three seasons, Young is 30-2 as a starter at Texas, the best in school history.
Some draft analysts project Young could be selected among the top 5 in the April draft, possibly as high as the top 3. The Texans, New Orleans Saints and Tennessee Titans own the top three picks in the draft.
The chance to be selected that high was one of the deciding factors in Young's decision not to return to the Longhorns.
All underclassmen must declare for the NFL draft by Jan. 15. Young will become the underclassman to leave early in coach Mack Brown's eight-year tenure at Texas.
sounds like a Saint to me.

After seeing him play against USC, I wonder if his draft position may not be higher than Leinhart's.

Mike Young doesn't have the skill to make 3rd string towel boy on the practice squad.

If there were any way at all for the Cowboys to get a top spot on the draft I wished they would get him.
With Bledsoe getting closer and closer to retirement we're going to be playing the QB game again.
Anyway, I think the draft will go #1-Bush, #2-Young, #3-Leinhart.
I think the same, however, I beleive Young is a bit over rated for the NFL...Young is without a doubt talented, but let's face it, college defense is terrible, Young will not be able to dominate the running game like he did against USC in the NFL.
Same for Bush, unless he bulks up, I don't think he'll be worth much his first couple years in the NFL

Very true... Looking at it from a NFL prospective you would have to take Leinhart first.. He is the prototype NFL type QB... He played under a coach that had NFL experiance and a team that ran a NFL type offensive... not saying Young won't be good in the NFL, but look what Carson Plamer did after playing at USC.. (yes he got hurt yesterday).. or look at Big Ben in Pitt.. Big Pocket QB's with big arms to match do well in the NFL...
Guys like Brady and Aikman win super bowls... guys like Vick have big personal stats... I'll take the rings....
You won't see Young running like he did in College.. you won't last 4 years...He looks like a man amoung boys now.. in the NFL their all men

you can say that about every college prospect however... you don't know how they will perform under the big lights.

But you know what type of program they were in and how they were coached...
Why did Aikman go #1 overall when he was drafted? UCLA wasn't the #1 college team, he didn't win the Heisman..... A running QB lead OU to National Championship that year... where is he when Aikman was winning SB's? Would you like fries with that?
Guess not.
