NEW YORK -- Vince Young looks as if he'll make the NFL his personal
playground, too.

The dynamic quarterback for the Tennessee Titans won The Associated Press
Offensive Rookie of the Year Award on Wednesday. He did it in the same
fashion he turned around the Titans' season -- running away from the rest
of the field.

Young, who led Texas to the 2005 national championship and was the third
overall pick in last April's draft, overwhelmed one of the strongest rookie
classes in NFL history. He received 23 votes from a nationwide panel of 50
sports writers and broadcasters who cover the league.

That easily beat New Orleans wide receiver Marques Colston and Jacksonville
running back Maurice Jones-Drew, who had nine apiece; San Diego tackle
Marcus McNeill (6); and Saints running back Reggie Bush (3).

Running back Carnell "Cadillac" Williams of Tampa Bay won the award last year.
Young is the third member of the Tennessee-Houston franchise to take top
rookie honors: Earl Campbell in 1978 and Eddie George in 1996 did it for the
Houston Oilers.

Young was the catalyst in Tennessee's rally from 0-5 to 8-8, at times looking
as unstoppable for the Titans as he did with the Longhorns. A starter from
Week 4, Young sprinkled all kinds of spectacular big plays with a growing
maturity in joining Ben Roethlisberger (2004) as the only quarterbacks to win
top rookie honors in the 49-year history of the award.

He became the first rookie quarterback to rush for more than 500 yards in the
Super Bowl era, and his passing skills improved all year under coach
Jeff Fisher and offensive coordinator Norm Chow.
