"Steve Young is the personification of what an NFL player should be. On the field, he was one of the league’s most gifted athletes and tenacious leaders. His enthusiasm for the game brought joy to football fans everywhere. He will no doubt go down as one of the greatest quarterbacks in history. And his work off the field has been just as impressive. From earning his law degree to his work with children through the Forever Young foundation, Steve’s accomplishments as a community leader set a standard for all of us to admire. As Commissioner and as a fan, I say thank you to Steve Young."
