APNo one has seen Vince Young on the football field yet this season, as Young has been inactive for the Eagles’ first two games. And if you think you’ve seen him off the field, you may be wrong.
Young has alerted the authorities — and the media — that someone in the Washington, D.C., area has been impersonating him.
“There’s a guy in D.C. running around saying he’s me,” Young said. “Keep watch out for this guy because he’s not me. He’s out there impersonating me. He’s been taking money, taking pictures with kids at hospitals. It’s real sick.”
Young said he is concerned about what the man might be doing and hoping the police will track him down.
“We want to make sure to capture him because we don’t want anyone to get harmed,” Young said.
Impostors are a significant job hazard for NFL quarterbacks: There’s the Brett Favre impostor, the Ben Roethlisberger impostor and now the Young impostor. If you’re approached by someone claiming to be an NFL quarterback, ask to see some ID.

It’s Akili Smith… Or is that the other way around?
Young should be starting somewhere else right now, can’t believe how soft his market was.
Why would anyone want to pretend to be Vince Young? Damn their life must really suck.
Was the impostor also throwing shoulder pads at fans and punching people in strip club offices?
I bet he is making this up just to get in the headlines.
Too bad his impostor didn’t take the Wonderlic for him.
The fake Vince Young will be easy to spot. He’ll be the guy diligently studying the playbook, putting in extra hrs of film study, making smart plays out on the field, and generally living a humble existence free from a posse and other distractions.
Someone should call the cops on Vince Young For being an imposter. Hes pretending to be a Quarteback.
Theres another imposter on the loose. He goes around Philly and pretends he can be a number 1
Strange, fake Vince Young said the same things.
“If you’re approached by someone claiming to be an NFL quarterback, ask to see some ID.”
Too funny…I will grab the football out of my trunk and make them hit a deep post off of their back foot while evading a 300 pound chick walking out of Baskin Robbins.
Wait…I’ sure the QB on my team couldn’t do this…imposter!
I can think of a lot of people who have been impersonating an NFL quarterback. Tarvaris Jackson, Luke McCown, Donovan McNabb, Matt Cassel, Vince Young…
Was he throwing his shoulder pads all over the city in frustration?
In other news, a former college golfer in the Kansas City area has reportedly been claiming that he is the coach of the Chiefs.
Why would anyone want to pretend to be Vince Young?
There’s about 300,000 impostor like him in the ATL metro area.
Stop putting a mike in front of this guy. Please….
So let’s get this straight … he’s “taking pictures with kids at hospitals.” And this makes him “sick”? This guy sounds like a more grounded person than the real Vince Young.
People who give their time to sick kids definitely need to be stopped though. It’s that kind of generosity and lack of work ethic that’s killing the economy.
Vince’s agent wasn’t alarmed by the news the guy was taking money, but when he heard that “Vince Young” was taking pictures with children at hospitals he knew it had to be an imposter.
I hear the impostor has even been going to all-male shirtless tequila parties.
The government should create an “Alert System” for such a scenario…..you know, like the Amber alert thing.
The one that can throw a football is the imposter.
Vince Young imposter to a woman in a bar: “It’s everyone else’s fault I’m a 4th stringer on The Dream Team.”
At least someone is doing something worthwhile being Vince Young
I thought your ben roethlisberger imposter link was going to go to a picture of will ferrell.
He has one? Or is one?
At first I thought this said Vince Young is an imposter since he’s pretending to be a QB.
Will a partially naked photo or police report be enough i
That has got to be one pathetic loser to choose Vince Young to impersonate.
He must be pretending to be a half decent back up QB!!!
Vince also said is was the impostor who ruined his career in Tennessee and made the “dream team” comment.
Vince Young says he is an impostor.
There, fixed that for you.
and if you’re a young woman, and the QB checks out to be Ben Rothlesburger…..RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
I = id
edit feature please
Wait until VY hears what that guy did for his rep while QBing the Titans these past few seasons.
Do he also throw INTS like they’re going out of business?
“Taking pictures with kids at hospitals. Its real sick”
At least someones doing it, Vince
There are going to be a lot of jokes about this.
That video of me dragging the girl in the bathroom was also an imposter!
-Ben Roethlesberger
Does he also throw INTS like they’re going out of business?
He was last seen dancing shirtless at an all male party.
Does the imposter have bum hamstrings too?
I’m guessing the impostors are just as philanthropic if not more than the genuine QB.
Big Ben imposter? Does he rape people too?
VY needs to worry about being arrested for impersonating an NFL QB.
It’s only fair. Young is an imposter as an NFL quarterback.
Does the imposter immediately get down on himself if he hears booing?
The guy has stopped taken his meds AGAIN.
My mistake. It’s only fair. Young is an imposter posing as an NFL quarterback.
yeah, it’s tavaris jackson..
go steelers
Maye the Jags should give the guy a try out.
i suppose hes the same one that made the comments about the eagles beaing a “dream team” maybe u should u let him suit up and he cant be any worse at football than you
How can you forget the Brian St Pierre imposter?
And the guy on Kenny Britt’s facebook?
The impostor probably plays quarterback like VY does, too.
Don’t we have a picture? What’s he look like?
“There’s a guy in D.C. running around saying he’s me,” Young said. “Keep watch out for this guy because he’s not me. He’s out there impersonating me. He’s been taking money, taking pictures with kids at hospitals. It’s real sick.”
————————————————–
Can he play football?………………if so, he’s not you.
sad thing is the imposter is probably the least crazy of the two.
Wow, dude must be desperate!
That’s no imposter. Just one of the many guys hanging around Metro stations panhandling.
It’s probably Duante Culpepper.
He’s tired of you impersonating him on the field.
i had to check the calendar to see if today was April Fools.
“Impostors are a significant job hazard for NFL quarterbacks: There’s the Brett Favre impostor, the Ben Roethlisberger impostor and now the Young impostor. ”
——————————————————-
Don’t forget the Michael Vick imposter.
OJ??? Zat choo?
..maybe he can play imposter on the football field…..the Eagles might be pleased!
..I thought Vince Young WAS the imposter….he’s been posing as an NFL QB for years now!
Ok, Im not Tiger Woods, I am an actor. I am Don Cheddle. Now take off those boots.
This explains so much. Brett Favre’s imposter was the guy under center for the Vikes last year.
LOL!
This is why I come to PFT, for the comments.
Good Stuff People. You all deserve the putz-litzer.
The Brian St. Pierre imposter was one of the best weird football stories of the decade.

No….Donald Gibb played Ogre in Revenge of the Nerds. Not Will Ferrell. He’s too busy impersonating Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
…if he can convince the coaches that the imposter was the one on the football field all these years……
Does this imposter also beat up people in STRIP CLUBS? Now Vince has an alibi for what he does in the clubs.

That’s his picture accompanying the article.
Wow…he’s really good at this!
What’s the worse crime: some dude impersonating Vince Young, or Vince Young impersonating an NFL QB?
It’s JaMarcus Russell.
I wonder what his imposters wonderlic score is
Probably someone who refuses to step up to his responsibilities…like, you know, doing his homework and paying child support.
Doesn’t McAllister lives in the DC area? hmm…
As long as the Eagles allow him to speak into a microphone, he’s going to say dumbass stuff like this. Does the imposter think he’s going to the Hall of Fame, too?
What a coincidence! JaMarcus Russell just reported having an impostor that plays 3rd string QB for the Eagles!
If you would like to find an impostor in the NFL, look no further than the commisioner.
If you’re approached by someone claiming to be an NFL quarterback, ask to see some ID.
If you need to see ID to recognize an NFL quarterback, you probably don’t know enough about the game to care.
Does that mean VY been hacked?
Sign him, Eagles! Can’t be any worse than the real VY.
How can the citizenry tell? Look for a guy throwing interceptions on the street or sucking his thumb in the fetal position.
“Just Wonderlic the guy, if the score is over an 11, it’s definitely NOT Vince!”
Jeff Fisher
Koo koo – koo koo
Let me guess, it was the “imposter” who coined the “dream team” name…
SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING VINCE,YOU ALL LOOK ALIKE.
It couldn’t be Cam Newton, because he’s actually good.
—feeds crow to the “Next Vince Young” crowd.
although i’m sure there are some crazy fools in this world – NO ONE – is crazy enough to pretend they’re you mate!!!
The Brian St. Pierre impostor is still the best.
Someone should sticky this thread to the top of the page. The comments are hilarious.
These posts kill me…..
Talk about setting yourself up LOL! LMAO!
Some say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery…I guess Vince Young disagrees, but then who would want to flatter this guy? My money is on him making this up to get his daily dose of Diva attention.
Must of been the same guy on the cover of Madden 2008.
He must be dreaming again.
So let’s get this straight … he’s “taking pictures with kids at hospitals.” And this makes him “sick”? This guy sounds like a more grounded person than the real Vince Young.
People who give their time to sick kids definitely need to be stopped though. It’s that kind of generosity and lack of work ethic that’s killing the economy.
——————————————
I could be wrong, but did you miss the part where he said this man was also “taking money”? You don’t pretend to be an NFL QB knowing you can get away with it just to visit some sick kids.
So, yeah, whoevers taking the time out of there day to impersonate Vince Young is sick.
Horrified victims spoke about how charming and convincing the impostor was. “If not for the fact that he was 5′ 7″ tall and Asian, we wouldn’t have suspected a thing!”.

Ooooh … nice one!
If the “imposter” can find a hot receiver then the Eagles should at least consider bringing him in for a look.
Maybe he’ll show up at amateur try-outs to pitch McDonald’s products.
“He’s been taking money”…How ironic that ppl are mistaking the Vince Young impersonator for Jamarcus Russell
Will the real undercover brother please stand up.
Hit him in the head, or below the waist. If a yellow flag appears, you know he’s the real QB.
Isn’t he doing those All Spice commercials on TV?
That should’ve been Old Spice.
Vince Young is as relevant of a QB right now as Tim Tebow…..except some people actually root for Tebow to get onto the field.
Yeah and Jerry Jones is looking for a Nnamdi Asomugha impersonator because he is still so upset that the Eagles got the real one. Then he’ll accuse the real one of being the fake.
i understand Vince Young’s pain: a bleach hair golddiger about 27 imposters ME an 18 yea r old genuine DNA Blonde- from Gibsonia PA to filth hospitals in The Burgh right into some kinda high finance prostitution with the leagues big rapist. Why imposter me? to BENEFIT from my work my heart and my brain. Everyday I stood up for the US Consitution in hundreds of sports and newspaper blogs- the bleach golddigger DIDN’T CARE ENOUGH to post a single comment….I understand Vince’s pain- too many criminals out there wearing the good deeds and bonafide character of others.
