At least we get to see him play once a year at Reliant...
Vince Young is AP's Offensive Rookie of the Year:
The dynamic quarterback for the Tennessee Titans won The Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year Award on Wednesday. He did it in the same fashion he turned around the Titans' season — running away from the rest of the field.
Young, who led Texas to the 2005 national championship and was the third overall pick in last April's draft, overwhelmed one of the strongest rookie classes in NFL history. He received 23 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the league.
That easily beat New Orleans wide receiver Marques Colston and Jacksonville running back Maurice Drew, who had nine apiece; San Diego tackle Marcus McNeill (6); and Saints running back Reggie Bush (3).
DeMeco Ryans won Defensive Rookie accolades.
Didn't we use our first round draft pick for a defensive player?
So hard to remember... what was his name...
The linebacker, chosen at the top of the second round of last April's draft _ 32 spots after the Texans made defensive end Mario Williams the first overall selection _ was a runaway winner of the award announced Wednesday. Ryans led the league in solo tackles with 126, and his 156 total tackles were 33 more than the next-best rookie, Detroit linebacker Ernie Sims.
Oh, Right. The guy who bought Slade's house.
