The undefeated Detroit Lions have a special talent in rookie wide receiver Titus Young. Not only is his play comparable to another up and coming star, the Eagles Desean Jackson. Young rocks a hairstyle similar to Academy Award Winner Billy Bob Thornton, in the 1996 classic Sling Blade.

Young was selected 44th overall in the second round by the surging Detroit Lions, out of Boise State. Young put up huge numbers during his career at BSU in a very explosive offense, led by quarterback Kellen Moore. Young left Boise State as the all-time leader in receiving yards, (3,063) second in receptions, (204) and fourth in touchdowns (25.) The Lions are hoping that Young’s collegiate success will turnover to the NFL and help compliment Calvin “Megatron” Johnson and there quest for the playoffs.
