Young filed a lawsuit in December of 2008 against three Texas men who trademarked the terms "VY" and "INVINCIBLE" in 2006, after Young won the Rose Bowl. He claims in the suit that he is unable to secure endorsements because of these trademarks.http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2008/12/18/vince-young-is-suing-people-for-stealing-vy-and-invinceable/

Vince Young decided to skip his senior season with the Texas Longhorns to enter the NFL Draft. Young was drafted by the Titans and quickly became the starting quarterback.

Young also had 552 rushing yards (the most for a rookie quarterback) and seven rushing touchdowns which earned him NFL Rookie of the Year honors.http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/Y/YounVi00.htm

On September 8, 2008, a search for Vince Young was conducted by police when friends and the Tennessee Titans reported that Young was in a "emotionally down" state, had left his phone at home and could not be reached. After several hours the Titans were able to locate Young, and after a meeting determined that the concerns were unfounded.http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3579504

In the 2009 season, Young was reinstated as the starting quarterback after the Titans got off to an 0-6 start. He would go onto to guide the team to eight wins in his 10 starts, throwing for 1,879 yards and 10 touchdowns. His efforts earned him his second trip to the Pro Bowl.http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/Y/YounVi00.htm

In 2010, Young started nine games for the Titans, throwing for 1,255 yards and ten touchdowns during that span. He would injure his thumb during a game on November 21, 2010 against the Washington Redskins. After the game, he got into a disagreement with his coach, Jeff Fisher, and walked out on his team. Young was ruled out for the season with a torn tendon in his thumb the next day, and was also not invited to be with the team for the remainder of the season at practices, meetings, or games.http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5843438
