Embattled Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young surprised the sons of his late friend Steve McNair by taking them to their school's "Dear Dads Breakfast" on Wednesday in Nashville.
Young, who grew up attending McNair's football camps, considered the fellow Titans quarterback a role model, so he didn't have to think twice about stepping in to accompany Trenton and Tyler.
"Those are my boys,' Young told The Tennessean. "I wouldn't say it was to pay anyone back; it was just out of love. Steve would do it for me. He pretty much did it for me when I was growing up. I have a history with the boys and I want to do anything I can. I am their big brother.'
McNair was shot and killed July 4 by his girlfriend before she took her own life.
Julie Dilworth, admissions director at St. Paul Christian Academy, said Young's presence went a long way.
"It was a great, great gesture,' she said. "All the kids had been talking about the dads' breakfast and (Trenton and Tyler) were wondering what was going to happen with them. They were thrilled ... the boys came to school with huge smiles on their faces.'
At the breakfast, Young gave jerseys and autographs to several students.
"Overall they are doing cool, doing good," he said of McNair's sons. "Just talking to their mom, I think they are going to be all right. I am always going to be here for them, always.'
