Ryan Young played five seasons in the NFL from 1999-2003. He was selected in the seventh round of the 1999 NFL Draft by the New York Jets, and played three seasons with the Jets before getting selected second overall in the 2002 NFL Expansion Draft by the Houston Texans. After injuries in Houston, he signed with the Dallas Cowboys and his former coach, Bill Parcells.
