My respect for Vince Young rose today

Tennessee Titans back up quarterback might not the best in the football world, but he is trying to make a positive impact in the lives of two young boys who recently suffered a great loss.

ESPN - Vince attends "Dear Dads Breakfast" with McNair boys

Trenton and Tyler McNair, who recently endured the loss of their father and ex-Titan Steve McNair, had no father to go with to the "Dear Dads Breakfast" hosted by the school. However, Vince Young surprised the two boys and went with them to the breakfast.

Below quote taken from the linked ESPN article:

"Those are my boys," Young told the Tennessean. "I wouldn't say it was to pay anyone back; it was just out of love. Steve would do it for me. He pretty much did it for me when I was growing up. I have a history with the boys and I want to do anything I can. I am their big brother."

Nice job Vince....you definitely made their day. What a nice gesture for two kids that certainly needed something positive.

I am by no means a huge VY fan but I like the kids attitude.And if any of you know about his childhood,I think you would agree with me when I say that explains alot.I hope he makes it huge.He deserves it.

I was very impressed when I read this, and it made me feel good. Maybe he has turned the corner and is making positive strides in his life. Good for him.

At least he has a winning record altogether. :lol:

Largely due to defense, but...
