Vince Young Returns To Texas

{fshare id=5430}

Vince Young is going back to work, but the paid gig is with the University of Texas, not in the NFL.

Young accepted a position that will pay him $100,000 annually with a start date of Sept. 1 in which he will assist UT’s Division of Diversity and Community Engagement.

Texas president Bill Powers publicly congratulated Young on returning to the university as a graduate to help other students “change the world.”

He led Texas to 31 victories and a BCS National Championship in 2005.

Young, 31, officially retired in June from the NFL following a brief stint with the Cleveland Browns during minicamp. His six-year career began when the Tennessee Titans drafted him third overall in 2006 and he signed a $58 million deal with $25.7 million guaranteed.

He last played in a regular-season game in 2011 with the Philadelphia Eagles.
