Young, Titus

Upper Deck College Legends 2011, #93

CARD: Upper Deck College Legends 2011
ACQUIRED: 2019, Box Breaker

CAREER SNAPSHOT:

  • Played WR for Boise State from 2007-10.
  • Caught 204 passes for 3063 yards and 25 TDs over college career.
  • Displayed some behavioral issues that caused his draft stock to drop.
  • Selected by the Detroit Lions during the 2nd round of the 2011 draft.
  • By mid-season behavior issues re-emerged, and continued through the 2012 campaign, where he’d be deactivated by the team.
  • After numerous fights, bad behavior, arguments, and social media outbursts increased, Titus was outright released by the Lions before the 2013 season.
  • Claimed by the St. Louis Rams, but was quickly cut after questionable behavior reemerged.
  • Titus’ behavior since 2013 has borderlined from the bizarre to flat out disturbing.
  • Sadly, since then he’s been imprisoned and spent time in inpatient rehabilitation.
  • He was released from prison in 2018.

NOTES:

Titus is the poster child for bipolar disorder. On top of things it’s entirely possible he also has CTE due to numerous concussions. Mental health- especially for men, has such a terrible stigma. I hope that since Titus hasn’t been in the news since his release from prison, that he’s getting the help he needs.
