Giant fail.

It was well known that Peterson wanted to get Young. He tried several times to get him. Young was a stud in the USFL when Peterson was the GM of the Philadelphia Stars.

Here is a 1992 article from Philadelphia Daily News

New York Times article about Young for Derrick Thomas

Once again, huge fail.
