Why Did the Titans
Pass on Leinart?
By: Jason Cunningham (5/2/2006)
A lot of the critics believe
USC's Matt Leinart and not Texas' Vince Young should have been the first
quarterback taken in this year's NFL Draft. However, the Tennessee Titans with
the third pick selected Vince Young.
It is ironic that Leinart did not
get picked by the Titans. Matt's former USC's offensive coordinator is no other
than current Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Norm Chow. Did Chow really
want to coach Matt Leinart? You see the Titans grabbed Leinart's former teammate
LenDale White in the second round of the draft.
Maybe, Leinart is not the
golden boy. He could be more like former Duke player Christian Laettner, who is
still living off his college greatness, even in retirement. We will see how
Leinart pans out. Do not expect him to be the next Joe Montana!
