“One of the kids was like, ‘You play in the NFL,'” Young shared. “I was like, ‘Yeah, I do.’ He was like, ‘So do you have $1,000?’ I was like, ‘I do, I do have it.’ And he went crazy. He was like, ‘Whoa,’ and he ran around, which is like one hundred percent. He was, I think he was like 6 or 7…and I also remember being 6 or 7 and thinking $1,000 was the maximum amount of money anyone could have in life.”
