Question
Wayne,

Could you please provide me with all of your knowledge about Ricky Young.  I know he played in the early to mid-80's, but that is all.

Thank you,

John


Answer
John,

I know little about Rickey Young other than he was drafted out of Jackson State and played runningback for the Vikings from 1978 through 1983.  He came to the Vikings as a free agent in 1978, but never developed into the back they had hoped for so other than spot duty as a starter he never became the Vikings featured back for their running game.

I wish that I had more on him for you.
