Vince Young has not played competitive football in three years or appeared in an NFL regular season game since 2011, but the 34-year-old is clearly expecting big things from himself in the Canadian Football League.
Why else would his new hype video have the tagline “Legends Never Die?” Check it out:

If ever anyone was in need of a good redemption story, it’s Young. The former Texas star’s NFL career was a major disappointment after he led the Longhorns to a BCS National Championship in 2006. He spent five seasons with the Tennessee Titans before kicking around with a few other teams. Last year, Young pleaded no contest after being arrested for driving while intoxicated. He was fined $300 and completed 60 hours of community service.
Young will report to minicamp with the Saskatchewan Roughriders later this month. If he enjoys a successful CFL career, it might help him avoid being trolled by video game companies and plenty of other people in the future.
