Second Acts and Taylor Swift With NFL legend Steve Young


Listen Later

From touchdowns to acquisitions — NFL legend Steve Young's second act may be more exhausting than his former career.

Young was a quarterback for 15 seasons, primarily with the San Francisco 49ers.

He's a two-time MVP (1992/1994), and he's a three-time Super Bowl winner.

But Young says he started working on his post-retirement plans long before he left the game.

He earned his law degree from BYU while playing for the 49ers and now runs HGGC, a successful private equity firm in the Bay Area.

Young spent years downplaying his football past in his new career. But he has fully embraced the magic and nuance of his two worlds.

Young is married and the father of four children, two boys and two girls.

His daughters have shown the greatest interest in playing football.
