According to Brian Kilmer, Young’s attorney, the trouble was caused as the quarterback became a spendthrift. Once he spent $6,000 in a single sitting at T.G.I Fridays. He’d often do $600 shots of Louis XIII de Remy Martin at Morton’s. In 2013, his assets were between $500,001 and $1 million, but his liabilities ranged between $1,001,000 and $10 million. Thankfully, Young found a position at University of Texas, his previous school.
