Vince Young<\/a> is soon to make his Netflix documentary debut.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The former Texas quarterback <\/a>will be the subject of sports\u00a0docuseries UNTOLD. The episode \u2014 “The Testimony of\u00a0Vince Young” \u2014 is expected to focus on Young’s legendary career at Texas and how a combination of injuries and off-the-field issues impacted his life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2008, Young had a strange off-the-field incident<\/a> that involved a mention of suicide. Shortly after, his career with the Tennessee Titans came to an end after he threw his shoulder pads into the crowd and had an argument with his head coach. In 2014 he filed for bankruptcy, and in 2016 he was arrested for DWI.<\/p>\n

Young’s story is one of three standalone films<\/a> that will drop on the streaming platform Aug. 25. The others will feature\u00a0Raygun, an Australian break dancer who went viral during the 2024 Olympics, and wrestler-turned-actor Mr. T.<\/p>\n

“We’re excited to finally share what we’ve been working on for the past five years,” Young and his wife Candice said in an Instagram post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After leading Texas to its last national championship in 2005, Young was taken\u00a0third overall in the 2006 NFL Draft<\/a> by the Tennessee Titans. During his rookie year<\/a> he threw for 12 touchdowns, 13 interceptions and was sacked 25 times. He played in the NFL for six years.<\/p>\n

Young’s film falls in season six of UNTOLD. Past popular topics in the series include Malice at the Palace, Notre Dame star Manti Te’o and his fake girlfriend, and Hope Solo.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vince Young is soon to make his Netflix documentary debut.\u00a0 The former Texas quarterback will be the subject…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":383231,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133],"class_list":["post-383230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=383230"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383230\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/383231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=383230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=383230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=383230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
