The southpaw out of BYU didn’t exactly hit the ground running in the NFL. He also had the burden of replacing Joe Montana in San Francisco. But Young was able to forge his own path and become one of the all-time greats. He ended up going to seven Pro Bowls, winning two MVP awards, and leading the 49ers to three Super Bowl wins.
