Steve Young's journey to the NFL was anything but ordinary. After a stellar college career at BYU, he chose to join the USFL's Los Angeles Express, lured by a lucrative contract that promised a 10-year deal worth $40 million. However, the league struggled financially and Young's time with the Express was short-lived due to ownership issues and dwindling fan support. This pivotal moment set the stage for his eventual rise in the NFL.
Young's remarkable college career is highlighted by his numerous accolades, including first-team All-America honors and a second-place finish in the Heisman voting in 1983. Over three seasons at BYU, he threw for over 7,700 yards and 56 touchdowns while also demonstrating impressive rushing abilities with 1,084 yards and 18 touchdowns. His incredible performance not only earned him a spot in the BYU Hall of Fame but also showcased his dual-threat capabilities as a quarterback.
