Young won't run, throw at NFL combine

NFL Bust, I'd guess.

maybe.....

I think that just means that he will have his own personal workout for the scouts.

The guy is still going in the top 3 unless he takes a header down the stairs or breaks a leg or something....

Everybody was predicting he'd basically skip the combine once he won the BCS anyway. Given what he did in his last game there's nothing he could do at the combine which would improve his stock, he'd only lower it.

"Young will throw for NFL scouts on March 22, at the annual pro day at Texas' Moncrief-Neuhaus Athletic Complex. However, he does not plan on doing any of the other strength and agility drills there."

All this means is he will do a private workout instead of trying to show off in the middle of the group grope that is the combine. Many of the top stars do this. Some choose to perform at the combine and also have a private workout. Some take thier chances at the combine.

Young is apparently getting advice to showcase his talents in an environment he can control.

"Young said. 'I don't feel like I have to show a lot. I think they understand me, have been watching me for a long time.'"

Somewhere Jeff George is beaming.
