Vince Young Ordered To Auction Off Possessions To Pay Off $1.7 Million Debt

A Houston court judge has ordered out-of-work NFL quarterback Vince Young to sell off possession in order to pay off a $1.7 million overdue loan he owes to creditors.

Young, who made close to $26 million over the course of his career, stood by as Harris County constables recently visited his home to take inventory of his possessions ranging from furniture to jewelry to art, according to Houston News Station KHOU 11.  

KHOU also reported, per the judge’s order, Young will be allowed to keep $60,000 in personal property, with the rest to be auctioned off and the money used to pay off creditors. Young reportedly took out the loan from Pro Player Funding in 2011, later using as much as $300,000 of it to throw himself a lavish birthday party.  

Young later claimed that he didn’t understand what he was doing when he took out the loan and he was duped by a financial adviser. After trying for more than a year to secure repayment, Pro Player took him to court.

After sitting out all of last season, Young is in the midst of attempting an NFL comeback, but has yet to be signed by any team. On Tuesday, his attorneys went to court seeking to gain a temporary restraining order preventing the inventory of his possessions, but a judge denied the request.
