| Vince Young Scouting Profile Posted by Chris Pokorny on 2/12/06 | |||||
Player Information: Vince Young saw his draft stock skyrocket after leading the Texas Longhorns past the USC Trojans in the National Championship game. Young also finished the season with the nations best passer rating, and finished second in the Heisman voting behind USC's Reggie Bush. His performance may have put him slightly ahead of USC's Matt Leinart in terms of the first quarterback that will be selected. So many people are exited about Young due to the athleticism he brings to the field as well as being a solid quarterback. Unlike a guy like Michael Vick, Young can throw the ball better on a more consistent basis. He does have a sidearm-type motion, but his quick release and arm strength should be fine at the NFL level. His most dangerous aspect is when he's on the run. In college, there were times when he rushed for over 200 yards in a game. Although he sometimes decides to take off with the ball too early rather than waiting for a receiver to get open, he throws the ball very well on the run. His size and elusiveness allows him to break tackles. Sometimes he tries too hard to make a play though and will force the ball into coverage. Young will probably be taken within the first five picks, but may need to adjust to NFL defenses in his first year. He will have to get used to not being able to run as freely as he could at the college level, and may need to adjust his sidearm motion if the NFL's tall linemen start batting his passes down at the line of scrimmage. | |||||
