Frederick Kimball Young[1] (born November 14, 1961) is an American former professional football player who was a linebacker for seven seasons in the National Football League (NFL) for the Seattle Seahawks and the Indianapolis Colts. He was selected to four Pro Bowls - two on the special teams and two as linebacker. He was renowned as a heavy hitter and was featured in the NFL film 'The NFL Crunch Course.'
College career
Young is a graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School in Dallas, Texas, the first high school to produce two Heisman Trophy winners. Young was a 2-year letterman in basketball and football. He received a full athletic scholarship to New Mexico State University (NMSU), was a part of the first-team all-Missouri Valley Conference from 1981 to 1983, the AP honorable mention all-American team in 1983, and the 1983 Sporting News honorable mention all-American team. He was voted to NMSU Hall of Fame and Aggie Legend, and he was drafted in the third round of 1984 NFL draft, the 76th overall pick.[2]
Professional career
Young's jersey number for the Seahawks was 50. He is perhaps most famous for being the Seattle Seahawks special teams player of the year for 1984–85, and a stalwart in the middle of the Seahawks defense from 1985 to 1987.
In May 1988, after four consecutive Pro Bowls and two All-Pro selections (for special teams and strong inside linebacker), he was traded to Indianapolis for the Colts' 1st round draft picks in 1989 and 1990.[3] He retired after three years in Indianapolis due to injuries.[4]
