Vince Young has matured, looking to earn Green Bay Packers respect
By Mike Dyce
Vince Young is getting another shot at his NFL career with one of it’s marquee franchises, the Green Bay Packers. The problem of course is his career has a lot of pine in the future with arguably the NFL’s best quarterback Aaron Rodgers at the helm of the offense.
“I just want to get in here and earn the team respect and staff and coaches’ respect and continue to keep playing football,” Young said after his first practice. “The game that I love.”
Vince Young has been out of football for a while so knocking off the rust is a more monumental task than one might think. Young vows that he is good to go and re-energized
“Maturing,” Young said, per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. “That’s the biggest thing. Back in the day, I was a young Vince. Now, I’m more mature and definitely learned from things that happened in the past. I’m married now, a grown man, 30 years old. I’m kind of like the old head in this locker room.”
“Once you get to the point you quit, that’s when you have to say I probably need to put the game down,” Young said, “but overall I had to stay active, stay working and stay visible with my guys at UT and things like that. I really felt like Green Bay saw that, saw that I was still active and I didn’t give up.”
