On Tuesday, NFL legend and former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young celebrated his 61st birthday.
The football world flocked to social media to celebrate with him. A handful of his ESPN colleagues – and the company itself – wished him a happy birthday today.
“Steve Young turns today. 3x Super Bowl Champion, Super Bowl XXIX MVP, 2x League MVP, 2005 Hall of Fame Inductee,” NFL on ESPN said showing a video of Young in action.
“We’re celebrating Steve Young’s 61st birthday…seen some highlights but THIS in our ESPN viewing room w Chris Berman doing impromptu highlight call during commercial breaks (Steve in the room) is one of our hilarious memories. Never failed,” ESPN’s Chris Mortensen said.
“Steve Young was a phenomenal quarterback with a unique skill set – and always a thoughtful interview subject. Happiest of birthdays to a valued @ESPNNFL teammate,” Ed Werder said.
Football fans loved to see Young tear it up on the field. Now he’s doing so as an analyst.
Happy birthday!
