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.
