Young gives his draft day jersey to 12-year-old fan

The Tennessee Titans? No. 1 draft pick, Vince Young, poses with head coach Jeff Fisher and general manager Floyd Reese. Young gave his draft day Titans jersey to fan Archie Taylor Jr., who is suffering from Hodgkin?s Disease.

Young responded Wednesday to a request from Houston Texans linebacker coach Johnny Holland to visit with Archie Taylor Jr. Archie was diagnosed with the lymphatic cancer in December.

Young, who led the Longhorns to a win over Southern California in January?s national championship game, autographed the jersey and called the meeting a ?blessing.?

Archie, who vowed to root for the Titans when they play the Texans, said he had a great day.

?It means a lot to me,? he said. ?I like his skills and how he plays. I like his friendship.?
