I have mixed feelings about Vince Young entering the NFL. Part of me wishes the NFL didn’t allow ANY underclassmen to enter the draft. On the other hand, who can blame Vince? He really has nothing left to prove in the college game. He led a national champion team through an undefeated season and had a historical last game against USC. His timing couldn’t be better–”Vince mania” will probably put him higher in the draft than he would have gone otherwise. And of course, something he HAS to consider…injury. Imagine if he came back to UT next year and blew up his knee.

I’m looking forward to seeing him play in the NFL. He’s an incredible athelete. I think the NFL coaches will be concerned about his funky throwing motion, but they can fix that. If I were an NFL coach/GM I’d seriously look into converting him into a running back. I don’t know if Vince would even consider it, but he has the size and speed, and obviously has the talent. Not many NFL coaches are going to want their high paid QB running all over the place. And if Vince can’t run all over the place, he’s not going to be the same player.

The guy’s a winner, and seems to have his head screwed on straight (Unlike Micheal Vick’s brother… what’s his name… Marcus? What a complete idiot that guy is!!). No matter what team or position Vince Young winds up at, he’ll make an impact. It ought to be interesting!

Hook ‘em!
