Vince Young, suddenly is everywhere

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Vince is already a star.
That could be a problem.
Tennessee has not reloaded; they have unloaded and appear to be a weaker team going into Vince’s second year.
Add in the fact that Vince was little busy and it could only spell trouble ahead.
So what has Vince been doing?
Parties at the Super Bowl and the Kentucky Derby. Charity work for his own foundation and serving as poster boy to remind children to drink more milk. And despite the talk of jinxes, the Tennessee quarterback and NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year will be on the cover of the Madden NFL ‘08 video game. source
Young’s offensive coordinator, Norm Chow formerly of USC, has nothing but good things to say about Vince.
“This guy is unique, no question he’s unique … ,” Chow said. “He’s a very, very competitive young man. He’s used to winning. He’s used to being a leader, so it all fits very well.”
Still, his receivers are named Brandon Gage and Justin Jones or is that Brandon Jones and Justin Gage? Nobody, other than their mothers, is sure.
Hard to deny that Vince is the man. NFL rookie of the year, NFL rookie rushing record (553 yards), etc.
But with losing Drew Bennett and having a 51.5 completion percentage, there is work to be done.
Maybe Vince should be busy throwing footballs through a tire.
NFL Football Fan Question Will Vince be able to turn Tennessee into a winner?
As always, any NFL Football related comments are welcome.

You forgot to include this from you source.
“Some rookies might have replayed the highlight DVD over and over to soak in the moments.
But offensive coordinator Norm Chow has been impressed by how Young has balanced personal and football commitments this offseason.
Young has spent the offseason working on being more consistent with his footwork and follow-through to boost his 51.5 completion percentage.
He lost his top receiver, Drew Bennett, to free agency. So he invited his current batch of receivers to Houston for a week of work to keep building on the chemistry being developed in the Titans’ offseason program — and paid the tab.”
