NFL likely choice for Young
Now that Texas has won college football's national championship, only one question remains: Will quarterback Vince Young come back for his senior season?
His messages to the public contradict each other. Young had said he plans to return for a final season, yet he also said he'd discuss his future soon with his family. If you're going to stay, what's left to talk about? What off-campus apartment to choose?
I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him go pro. What else is left for him to accomplish at Texas other than winning a Heisman Trophy? The instant millions available from the NFL will be enough to make him forget about a senior season in Austin.
If he stays in college, he could use the time to finish work on a degree. I don't think that will be enough to keep him in school. The majority of big-time athletes don't care about classes. And, if Young does want to finish a degree, there are ways for him to do that without being on campus full-time.
