Steve Young |

|
One of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, and rated the most accurate passer in the 78-year life of the league, Steve Young of the San Francisco 49ers has literally thrown himself into pro football super-stardom. With two trips to the Super Bowl--including a Most Valuable Player performance and victory at Super Bowl XXIX, seven Pro Bowl appearances, and two NFL MVP titles, Steve Young is certainly worth his weight in gold--no easy task for one who earns $45 million (over six years), one of the priciest salaries in NFL history. ... "Its like monopoly money to him," says his mother, Sherry Young. ... " "I think people presume that when good things happen to you, you become a jerk or something," explains Steve. ... " Steve recalls his freshman year at Brigham Young University, where he was determined to play quarterback. ... " That decision gave Steve strength as he fought through other challenges and pressures: at BYU reaping an undefeated WAC season and a holiday bowl victory in 1983; doubting his desire to play pro football at all while on his way to the Los Angeles Express; during his slow-moving Tampa Bay days; and paying his dues in San Francisco in the shadow of Joe Montana, waiting for his day in the Golden Gate sun. ... "It was like a dream come true," says Steve, who passed a record six touchdowns during the game, leading the 49ers to their fifth Super Bowl victory and earning the games MVP award. ... Though hes lived the high life of professional football for 16 years, Steve still manages to remain grounded and maintains a strong sense of who he is: a man with a strong sense of family values and high ideals. ... It started at a very young age with me, but Im still living that. ... " Steve doesnt smoke, drink, or gamble, and hes never done drugs. ... " Steve seems to find plenty of ways to have fun without drugs. ... "I got to know all kinds of kids in high school," says Steve. |
