Former BYU quarterback Steve Young started out just wanting to make sure his children would have some knowledge of what their dad went through growing up and then starring at BYU and in the National Football League.

The idea turned into a book — a biography written by Jeff Benedict that actually includes a lot of detailed stories about Young's time at BYU. For instance, he was No. 8 on the quarterbacks depth chart at BYU at one time, but stuck with it and eventually earned the starting job.

The book is titled "QB: My Life Behind the Spiral."

Young will appear at two book signings in Utah on Tuesday (Oct. 25):

* The first signing is at the Downtown Deseret Book at City Creek Mall from 12-2 p.m.

* The second signing on Tuesday is at the University Village Deseret Book in Orem (next to University Mall) from 6-8 p.m.
