Vince Young turned away from veteran combine

Vince Young won’t be at the veteran combine after all
 

The NFL’s new veteran combine will be a spectacle anyway, with Michael Sam taking another shot at finding an NFL job.

So it didn’t really need Vince Young to be a circus.

According to Brian Smith of the Houston Chronicle, one of Young’s representatives said the former first-rounder wasn’t accepted and won’t be attending the March 22 event at the Cardinals practice facility.

Young had been reported to be involved in the new event by the league’s own media arm, so it seemed credible enough at the time.

Guessing the Hall of Fame induction is gonna be on hold a little longer.

What's the point of turning anyone with an NFL resume' away?

Surely there's not a line to participate.

Young's talented enough in his own right for something like this. It's almost like they just dont want the pub (which isnt exactly the NFLs style)

    • I would understand it--especially if DJ Johnson, Barno, and Wonnum finish strong.  Graham, however, might not be the best fit for Carolina with Brown back.  Our DTs have underperformed (Tuttle, Robinson) and they can be cut and save about $13m, or one can be cut and save $6.5m.  Who might be a better fit than Graham?   Maybe the guy beside him--Graham's sidekick, Kenneth Grant, is also a beast.  You could argue that he benefited by playing with Graham, just as he would in Carolina beside Brown.  However, teams like to double the big NT/3 tech, and if you do that, you get Browned.  Grant is a 340 lb DT who has 3 sacks this year--against Ohio State, Saturday, he had 5 QB pressures--and he has been doing that all year.  They could not block him.  If you want a player who compliments Brown (as opposed to rotating in with him) I would take a long look at Grant--in round two if he is there--after drafting an Edge in round 1.  In my view, THAT would solve the running game issues and give us pocket collapsing pressure up the A gap.  There is also a DT from Kentucky I like in this role, but Graham is good.
    • He is a free agent after this season. Do you want to pay him like a top kicker?  He can't kick much from past 50 yards. 
    • I don't know how anybody watches this team this season and has this take.  We are miles better than we were week 1.    If we were slightly better he would be in serious contention for coach of the year, and he should be. My only concern right now is that we win too much and lose draft position to get even better.
