How is this picture of VY? The user who uploaded he image listed it can be used under the Creative Commons - Attribution rule. -- Blueag9\ talk 08:24, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
The last part of the first paragraph is inaccurate, McNair was traded after the draft and Drew Brees signing with the Saints is irrelevant since Young was never a likely choice for them. I did not want to just remove that part since it has been that way almost a year and I have no prior edits. Manic000 16:01, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm not doubting that VY has had a child, but is this website, MediaTakeOut.com, a reliable source? I did a Google News search and this website was the only one that mentioned the baby. Nothing from a Houston paper (VY's hometown) or an Austin paper or a Tennessee paper. With all the issues surrounding WP:BLPs lately, I think we should err on the side of caution and remove this claim until a better, verifiable source can be found. If anybody disagrees, then revert my change and let me know what you think.↔ NMajdan• talk 17:52, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
What about Young being the Madden 08 cover athlete? Should we mention that? I mean, it's official; EA even said so. Bobman123 18:47, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
The message on top is starting to get annoying. Has there been a consensus yet whether to merge his highlights or not? I think a separate article is appropriate for the sake of making this article smaller in size. BlueAg09 ( Talk) 03:52, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Per WP:NOT and WP:EL, it is generally recommended that statistics are conveyed through ELs. This is already done here. If there is some particular reason why Young's college stats must be included, I'd be curious to know why. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat 05:23, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Vince Young also has 10 rushing touchdowns from before 2008 that is not included in his stats. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.99.109.105 ( talk) 06:15, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Sports Illustrated for Kids' May 2006 issue predicted that the Titans would draft Vince Young. The prediction became true in April 2006. Never Trusted 18:35, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Image:Madden 08.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The article says "where he would reunite with his close friend and mentor Steve McNair," but there's been no prior mention of McNair or how this relationship formed.
According to this news story, Young attended McNair's football camps. After McNair's murder, Young expressed his determination to be a "big brother" to McNair's two young sons.
I'm undecided about whether this is worth including in the article. I'm just mentioning it here so people more knowledgeable about Young can evaluate it. Goodguy2 ( talk) 11:42, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
This article is one of a small number (about 100) selected for the first week of the trial of the Wikipedia:Pending Changes system on the English language Wikipedia. All the articles listed at Wikipedia:Pending changes/Queue are being considered for level 1 pending changes protection.
The following request appears on that page:
![]() | Many of the articles were selected semi-automatically from a list of indefinitely semi-protected articles. Please confirm that the protection level appears to be still warranted, and consider unprotecting instead, before applying pending changes protection to the article. |
However with only a few hours to go, comments have only been made on two of the pages.
Please update the Queue page as appropriate.
Note that I am not involved in this project any more than any other editor, just posting these notes since it is quite a big change, potentially.

Someone added a paragraph to the "Radio" (film) article stating that Vince Young's nickname is Radio. States Mr. Young is "borderline legally retarded". Whatever that means. Just thought I would add it here so Vince Young fans and supporters could keep an eye on the Radio wiki. I am not 100 percent sure but I am guessing this is BS.

Please add the following to the last sentence in the "Financial Problems" subsection of the "Personal Life" section. The sentence currently reads:
In January, 2014, Young filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in a Houston federal bankruptcy court.[71]
This sentence in isolation is misleading and historically inaccurate. The sentence should be qualified by adding the following:
On January 30th, Young petitioned the court to dismiss the bankruptcy filing due to a settlement with Adams and Peoples, and a resulting settlement with Pro Player Funding.
