The Green Bay Packers will workout former two-time NFL Pro Bowl quarterback Vince Young on Monday, as league sources have confirmed on Sunday night.
The Packers currently have Graham Harrell, 28, and B.J. Coleman, 24, battling for the backup spot behind Aaron Rogers, but Young will have a chance to battle as well should he impress the coaching staff during Monday's workout.
Young, 30, hasn't played in the NFL since 2011, but was in attendance at training camp with the Buffalo Bills last year.
In six NFL seasons split with the Tennessee Titans and Philadelphia Eagles, Young has played in 60 career games with 50 starts and completed 755-of-1,304 passes (57.9 percent) for 8,964 yards in his career with 46 touchdowns and 51 interceptions. The AFC offensive rookie of the year in 2006, Young also has 282 carries for 1,459 yards (5.2 yards per carry) and 12 touchdowns.
The Packers have long looked for a solution to the read-option offense that cost them in January's 45-31 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC divisional playoffs. If Young is able to show that he still has some gas left in the tank, then he could provide a good scout against that offense.
The Packers will open the season against the 49ers on Sept. 8 in San Francisco.
