Steve Young, NFL record holder for highest career passer rating and winner of six NFL passing titles and tireless worker to improve the lives of physically, emotiaonally and finanacially challenged youth was inducted into the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame as a part of the Class of 2003, which included the Harlem Globetrotters.
After an unproductive two season stint with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Steve Young moved to the San Francisco 49ers where he began a his historic fourteen seasons. He spent four years as a backup to fellow Hall of Fame Quarterback Joe Montana, and assumed the starting spot in 1991 following an injury sustained by Montana. By the time he retired in 1999, Young compiled an impressive collection of statistics which included seven Pro-Bowls, three Super Bowl rings, one Super-Bowl MVP award, two NFL MVP awards, and NFL records for highest passer rating (96.8), most passing titles (6, tied), and most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback.
In 1993, Young founded the Forever Young Foundation, an organization created to help improve the lives of physically, emotionally, and financially challenged youth by providing academic, athletic, and therapeutic opportunities that they would not otherwise have access to.
