Texas Longhorns legend Vince Young is no stranger to a close finish for a major accolade. In 2005, a season in which Young led the Longhorns to a national championship victory, the dual-threat quarterback lost the race to the Heisman at the hands of another speedster, USC's Reggie Bush, the star of the team the Longhorns defeated.top 25 players of the 21st century
Many Texas fans took to X to voice their dismay with Young being ranked behind a rival quarterback in Mayfield, with many pointing to Mayfield's lack of a national title as a starting quarterback. Seems pretty important to be ranked top two, especially when the next quarterback on the list without a national championship under their belt was fellow Sooner Kyler Murray, all the way down at 18.
Young's resume isn't perfect, especially not in the ways that Newton and Suh are for their respective positions. Young is the only skill position player in the top nine without a Heisman, and his first two years in Austin had fewer combined passing yards than his third. Similar to Newton, who wasn't a starter until his junior year, the two quarterbacks had a specific breakout year that hoisted them to stardom and legend status.
