Steve Young

Steve Young starred at Brigham Young University and played in the USFL before beginning his NFL career with Tampa Bay. A 1987 trade brought him to San Francisco, where he initially backed up Joe Montana before becoming the full-time starter in 1991.

Young won NFL Most Valuable Player honors in 1992 and 1994. He capped the 1994 season by throwing six touchdown passes in the 49ers victory in Super Bowl XXIX and earning the game’s MVP award. His passing efficiency and running ability helped carry him to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005.
