Young to Enter NFL Draft

Via the Statesman...
Vince Young announced Sunday that he is skipping his senior season as quarterback for the national champion Texas Longhorns and will enter the NFL draft.
"I've decided to enter the draft this year and go to the NFL," Young said in a news conference on the University of Texas campus. "I know that everybody is behind me, and I thank God for that. I won't let ya'll down."
Young said he made the decision after meeting with his pastor and family. He vowed to complete the requirements for his college degree.
I can't say that I blame him, though I will be sad to see him go. It's better to go out on your peak and in the world of Football, especially if that is going to likely be your single career, why risk a second year at UT when you could be signed? Thanks for the memories, Vince. That was one hell of a game.
PS. I'm back in Austin now, and realized that I couldn't log into my G-Mail account to read the 100s of e-mails I have. (Not that this is a bad thing maybe...) If anyone else if having an error message come up, it may be because you need to download the latest version of Firefox (1.5).
