| 8th January, 2006 - 11:45 pm |  ESPN - Vince Young is headed to the NFL.
The quarterback who led Texas to its first national championship in 36 years announced Sunday he would make himself eligible for the NFL draft.
"I thank God for the opportunity to be in this position," Young said at a news conference. "Hard work has paid off a whole lot."
Young, who led the Longhorns to a 41-38 Rose Bowl win over top-ranked Southern California on Wednesday, could have returned to Texas for his senior season and would have been a favorite to win the Heisman Trophy.
The versatile quarterback accounted for 467 yards against USC -- 200 running and 267 passing -- and ran 8 yards for the winning touchdown with 19 seconds left. [READ] |
