Vince Young to workout for the Packers
- Thread starter Deflatedhoopdreams
- Start date
The Green Bay Packers are bringing in former two-time Pro Bowl quarterback Vince Young for a workout on Monday, a league source confirmed to Press-Gazette Media on Sunday night.
The 30-year-old quarterback, who was spotted at Austin-Straubel airport on Sunday evening, hasn't played since the 2011 season, but was in camp with the Buffalo Bills last year.
TEAM REPORT: Packers want better balancing act
In six NFL seasons with Tennessee and Philadelphia, Young has played in 60 career games with 50 starts and completed 755-of-1,304 passes (57.9 percent) for 8,964 yards in his career with 46 touchdowns and 51 interceptions. The AFC offensive rookie of the year in 2006, Young also has 282 carries for 1,459 yards (5.2 yards per carry) and 12 touchdowns.
The Packers currently have 28-year-old Graham Harrell and 24-year-old B.J. Coleman battling for the backup spot to Aaron Rodgers. The two quarterbacks have been splitting reps evenly throughout camp with Coleman seeing the first snaps behind Rodgers during Saturday's annual Family Night intra-squad scrimmage.
ART DONOVAN: Hall of Famer dies at 88
However, Harrell unofficially had the better night, completing nine of 12 passes for 88 yards and a touchdown while Coleman struggled with nine of 18 completions for 100 yards and two interceptions.
Since drafting Coleman in the seventh-round of the 2012 NFL draft, the Packers have stood by both quarterbacks in lieu of bringing in an NFL veteran, but appear to be testing the waters with the former third-overall pick in the 2006 draft.
The Packers have been adamant throughout the offseason about finding an answer for the read-option offense that befuddled them in January's 45-31 loss to San Francisco in the NFC divisional playoffs.
