Young currently holds 14 NCAA records and 14 more NFL records.   His unique ability to both throw and scramble paved the way for the modern-day dual-threat quarterback. In 1999 he was ranked No. 63 on The Sporting News list of the 100 Greatest Football Players and in 2005 he earned the ultimate honor when he was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
