The Young and the Restless: Part 2
It’s not easy being a cornerback in the NFL. The touchdowns you stop hardly ever make the highlight reels. But the ones you get beat for are played over…and over…and over again. (Ain’t that right Jason David?) Saints cornerback Usama Young never expected the pros to be easy street. It never is for a cornerback. And while he understands the criticism heaped atop his team like gumbo on rice, he finds much of it misguided.
In part two of my interview with the rising star of the Saints’ secondary, he explains why you’ve got to walk a mile in a cornerback’s cleats to know just how tough it is to do what they do. But we don’t just talk Xs and Os. Usama also lets us know how he keeps things “breezy” in the Big Easy.
Saints Make Super Bowl Appearance!
Sure it was just in a commercial, but we’ll take it. Congratulations to Usama Young for winning the NFL’s Super Ad Challenge. He did us proud! (Wow, a Saints cornerback getting national recognition and not for getting torched on a 90 yard play. Who woulda thunk it?!)
Black and Gold Love on Super Bowl Sunday
For one Saint, the chance to shine in the Super Bowl spotlight didn’t die when Robbie Gould kicked our playoff wishes right out of Soldier Field. Usama Young, the team’s second year corner, has a chance to star in his own Super Bowl ad. But he can’t do it without your help!
Be sure to vote for Usama’s NFL Super Ad. All you have to do is click here and you can vote as many times as you want. If Usama’s ad wins, people all over the world will hear the story of how he worked as a vendor during Redskins games as a teen with dreams of one day playing in the NFL. His dreams came full circle when he was given the chance to storm Fed-Ex Field as a Saint this season, in only his second NFL game.
