Vince Young to enter NFL draft
The Houston Chronicle is reporting that Vince Young has scheduled a press conference for 3pm today and will announce he is headed for the NFL. Young will reportedly sign with Steve McNair's agent Bus Cook.
Obviously disappointing news for Longhorn fans but probably the best decision for Vince. His stock is about as high as anyone's could get right now and he's probably got a chance for some endorsements coming off his legendary Rose Bowl performance. Also, the hometown Houston Texans are drafting number one overall and his mentor McNair's Tennessee Titans are sitting at number three. I think things are setting up for him to head to the Titans and spend a year or two learning under McNair (who is unsigned but looks close to completing a deal) while he finishes up his career.
Young's departure would leave the Horns unbelievably thin and inexperienced at the quarterback position for next season. Redshirt freshman Colt McCoy would be the only scholarship QB on campus right now and he's never taken a snap. Fortunately, blue chip recruit Jevan Snead will also be on campus this Spring and will have a chance to go through practices with the team. Snead performed very well in yesterday's US Army All-American Bowl and will compete for the starting job. We'll have a complete look at the Longhorn depth chart for 2006 sometime in the next couple of weeks.
Again, tough news if true but we wish him the best and will immediately become fans of whatever team he ends up with.

Good idea this year Texas looses a-lot and he fits the Tennisee Titans perfect as the next Steve McNair he palys just like him only better well at least he prolly will. Aslo pretty much ALL THE OTHER NFL TEAMS WOULD JUST ASUME TAKEN LIONART HE PLAYS LIKE PEYTON MANNING. Plus if he would have waited another year there wouldn't be A team like Tennisee looking for a QB like him and all the other teams would just asume have taken Quenn. For that reason and the fact that Texas would loose a-lot of important athleates he would have defenitly dropped out of the top 10 at least had he waited another year.
