Remember Titus Young? The former Detroit Lions wide receiver that had a mental breakdown and went on a wild crime spree that resulted in several arrests within a few days? Well, as he awaits trial on June 19 he is receiving help in a mental health facility.

There is some good news on the Young front, too, because he seems to be improving and getting much better.

“Titus is improving,” lawyer Brian Hurwitz told USA Today.

“He’s getting better. We hope to know more about the legal case by June 19. But the most important thing right now is Titus’ health and his continued care. In the meantime, I am continuing to talk to the district attorney’s office and am preparing to either resolve the case or fight it.”

It will be interesting to see whether or not Young, who is just 24 years old, gets another chance in the NFL.

But for now, he will need to wait for his legal issues to play out as he continues to get his head back in the right place.
