The former star quarterback revealed that he's still "not at peace" with how his career panned out.
Former Texas Longhorns quarterback Vince Young, the orchestrator of the program's lone football national championship from 20 years ago, was the subject of the latest episode of Netflix's UNTOLD series, which tells the story of sport's biggest, and often most controversial names.
In "UNTOLD: The Testimony of Vince Young", the college football icon revealed his telling and unfortunate internal reality.
"Hell no, I am not at peace," Young said in the episode.
The documentary included interviews with former Texas coach Mack Brown and former teammates with the Tennessee Titans.
Young finished second in Heisman Trophy voting as a junior in the Longhorns' historic 2005 campaign. In his three-year career at Texas, Young threw for 6,040 yards, rushed for 3,127 more and scored 81 total touchdowns.
After being drafted No. 3 overall in the 2006 NFL Draft and winning Offensive Rookie of the Year, Young's career quickly took a downward turn before he was out of the league entirely after six seasons.
The Tennessean described the interview components as elements that portray Young as "more of a lost soul than a talented troublemaker who had problems with authority."
Young, now 43, also explained how his lack of a father figure in his youth impacted him and his love for football.
"It's very important to me when I was playing ball. A lot of my teammates had a dad there. Um, it was just me and my mother and sisters. So I was the baby boy. So I wasn't the big brother, but a little brother," Young said.
"I've been a man with a lot of people. I know I've been working my butt off behind the scenes, clearing up so much mess that I've been through, from financial stuff to just me, myself personally," Young said to USA TODAY Sports. "Just been trying to be a better person, period. And at the time, a lot of people were like, man, you should get your story out.
"And I feel like God has blessed me to do it now. And it's the right time for my kids, as they’re a little bit older. They can understand now, instead of somebody coming and bothering them, now they know how to handle different things."
