There is no shame in becoming a college football broadcaster or making money off of the fame your college career gave you. In fact, Young should be the perfect example of why college football players should get paid (not that he didn’t make a ton of money already). Another thing that should be advocated by the Vince Young story, is that student-athletes should actually pay attention in class and earn a degree that can help them in the future. To be honest, Young does not need a job. He can probably live off his fame for a while and be a great draw to get boosters for Texas. This shows he really wants to prove the naysayers wrong. So let’s see what the comeback trail includes for Vince Young.
The Facts
According to Marc Sessler of NFL.com, Young hired agent Leigh Steinberg just over a week ago to help him get back into professional football. There are plenty of athletes that try to make comebacks all the time. Vince Young is actually one of those players that try to make comebacks every year it seems. To make matters more interesting, according to Scott Polacek of Bleacher Report, the former Titans quarterback applied for a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark office.
The phrase that Young wants to trademark is “Make Vince Great Again” according to Polacek of Bleacher Report

So this is what I am gathering based on that trademark idea. Vince Young decided to make a come back, no one really cared. Therefore, he decided: I will do it with a slogan, now people will care. Ripping off the President of the United States to get your name out there is really not the greatest idea. I’m shocked President Trump has not tried to sue him over it yet. He likes lawsuits.
According to the same article by Polacek, Young does not seem to have many suitors. His best option could be to join the Canadian Football League. Allegedly, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are at least somewhat interested in Young. Just think about how far the mighty have fallen. At one point, Vince Young was considered to be the can’t miss prospect of the NFL. Now he is maybe going to get a chance in the CFL. Good luck Vince.
