Vikings RB Albert Young Ready To Fill Chester Taylor's Role

Running Back Albert Young said he tried to ignore all the media attention focused on the Vikings' pursuit of LaDainian Tomlinson last week, but he kept getting reminders on his Twitter and Facebook accounts. Tomlinson's decision would directly affect Young, the team's backup to star running back Adrian Peterson. "I really didn't have a feeling either way about it," Young said. "That's something that's out of my control. The fact is, he's not there. Who knows, they might bring in somebody else. They might draft somebody. I just look at it as a void that's there and somebody needs to take it, and I'm working hard to do that." Vikings coach Brad Childress said Young should not be overlooked in the equation. "Probably not enough has been said about Albert Young," Childress said on KFAN Radio last week. "Albert Young is a guy that has developed here tremendously in the last two years. As a matter of fact, Brett Favre and I had a long conversation about him when we were down south, and he believes he's got a chance to be a good back in this league."
