SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Legislature of the State of Texas takes great |
|
|
pride in recognizing Houston native Vincent Paul Young, Jr., of the |
|
|
Tennessee Titans for his outstanding season in the National |
|
|
Football League and in paying tribute to him for winning the |
|
|
Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year Award; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After leading The University of Texas Longhorns to |
|
|
the 2005 national championship title, Vince Young was the third |
|
|
overall pick in the 2006 National Football League draft; he took |
|
|
over as the Titans' starting quarterback in the fourth week of the |
|
|
season and quickly became the star player of one of the strongest |
|
|
rookie classes in National Football League history; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A fearless athlete who is noted for his outstanding |
|
|
talent and tenacity, Vince was the driving force behind the |
|
|
Tennessee Titans' turnaround from an 0-5 record to open the season |
|
|
to an 8-8 final season record, leading the team through a six-game |
|
|
winning streak that included a spectacular overtime victory in his |
|
|
hometown; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Famous for his great speed, as well as his accurate |
|
|
arm, Vince became the first rookie quarterback in the Super Bowl era |
|
|
to rush for more than 500 yards in a season; the combination of his |
|
|
spectacular big plays and his single-minded will to win allowed him |
|
|
to become the second quarterback ever to win the Offensive Rookie of |
|
|
the Year Award in the award's 49-year history; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A dynamic leader and a champion since his days at |
|
|
Madison High School in Houston, Vince has the ability to rally |
|
|
players around him and inspire their spirit and performance; his |
|
|
outstanding rookie season is certain to be a springboard to even |
|
|
greater success in the future; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the 80th Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
|
hereby commend Vincent Paul Young, Jr., for his extraordinary |
|
|
achievements and leadership on the football field and extend |
|
|
congratulations to him on winning the Associated Press Offensive |
|
|
Rookie of the Year Award; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be prepared for him |
|
|
as an expression of high regard from the Texas Legislature. |
