“Feel like you're a little bit of an impostor” - Steve Young opens up on being neighbors with Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young discussed living near some of the world's most renowned entrepreneurs. The former NFL star once lived in the Silicon Valley.

While living in Palo Alto, California, Young's neighbors included founders of some of the world's biggest companies. Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle, were all his neighbors.

Young discussed his neighbors in his interview on In Depth with Graham Bensinger. In an episode released on February 6, Young reflected on how living among entrepreneurs made him feel like an "imposter" as an athlete. He said (via AOL):

"Everywhere you went, you were around people that were transforming the world. And so as a player, as an athlete, you always feel like you're a little bit of an impostor in that world because I don't have a product. I don't have this great idea. I just go play a game."

Following his retirement from the NFL, Steve Young is now also active in the broadcast industry. He appears in ESPN's weekly coverage.
