But that's the thing - why is the family so concerned that they called the police?

Young was quoted about thinking about quitting football after his rookie year;
Quote:
"I really thought long and hard about it," Young said on Thursday after practice. "There was so much going on with my family. It was crazy being an NFL quarterback. It wasn't fun anymore. All of the fun was out of it. All of the excitement was gone. All I was doing was worrying about things.

Young just doesn't strike me as a sound individual. Offensive rookie of the year, he contemplates quitting. Depressed from an injury, his family gets worried and calls the police.

I'm not wishing him ill, but I'm not sure I would trust him to be there for my team every week.
