Former Lions WR Titus Young diaries on mental illness, thinks NFL comeback is still possible

The last we had heard about former Detroit Lions receiver Titus Young, he had been sentenced to jail time following a series of bizarre events and arrests. He had been diagnosed as bipolar and had been in and out of rehab centers prior to the arrests.

On Monday, the Los Angeles Times gave an update on Young from his Los Angeles-based prison. Young declined to interview with the Times, but shared notes from his diary, which he started in 2017 and hopes to someday publish in a book.

The diary notes paint a devastatingly sad picture of Young’s mental state when gone untreated.
