Looking Back with Steve Young

Steve Young talks about his tough journey from 8th-string quarterback to consensus All-American and Heisman runner-up.

Jimmy Mac and Steve Young. Probably the best 2

[@Lundahlium]

Steve Young a BEAST!!

[@RDSports5]

Michael Vick said he grew up wanting to be Steve Young. Just think about that for a second. Whenever people forget or doubt Steve's greatness, I just bust that line out that I heard Mike say in an interview a while back. Definitely helps to put it in perspective for sure; Steve was an OUTSTANDING athlete

[@throwdini2525]

Love how he gave props to Jim Mcmahon.

[@Koreabrad]

What a great clip! Those were definitely the glory days for football at BYU!

[@joecook5689]

Where has this gem of an interview been?

[@jranner]

THE MAN.

[@46dc9er]

He's vastly superior athlete to anyone now and certainly a better quarterback

[@Lundahlium]

@Kevin Kelly Steve Young could run a 4.5 and dunk like an NBA player. Doubt Patrick Mahomes can do that.

[@michaelmisczuk1188]

@@Lundahlium Mahomes 4.8 40. I was surprised. I thought at least 4.6.

CHILLS

[@Theempiresf49]

Who's here after the Niners go up to get number 3 pick in the draft and they could get another BYU Prospect in Zach Wilson.

[@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw]

Steve young is related to the founder of the school

[@DREAMHippo9]

What does he mean by throwing a football by not spinning it out of the hand but throwing it out?

[@AdamVo]

I guess flicking it out of the hand focusing on the spin, rather than the full motion of pushing it while flicking to bring more velocity to the throw.

[@mooseclamps]

Young would spin it coming out of his hand to get a spiral. Kind of like a hand slapping motion. He learned from McMahon that it should be thrown like a knuckleball. Two fingers pushing forward into the ball away from the hand. Young said it gave him 10x the velocity and accuracy

[@dirkpalmer1067]

Release that has thumb poiting down thru release vice up.

[@42tribes]

He was over-adjusting to create a spiral instead of letting it come natural with his throw.

[@timburr4453]

Bell was a fingernail short

[@blbrown46]

I stopped watching NFL football when Steve retired.

[@gladec3896]

I did too until Taysom Hill another former BYU Cougar...Steve on a Dan Patrick show said basically he'll miss the game, comeraudery, but that it was just a game as His brother wasnt as good at BYU and became a Doctor and night before the show helped save someones life and Steve said I just won a game in comparison. He went on to do Forever Young foundation. I felt they didnt want small markets to get to finals as another reason I stopped watching

[@StocksIn60Seconds]

Seriously? Mahomes...Brady??? You’re missing out on the GOAT.

[@Yeomannn]

Come back
