I also found and bought this copy, with yellow splotching on the bottom left. Not sure if a recurring defect to note or just a random one off. Pretty much any old Topps card can be found with yellow-ink splotching if one looks at enough copies.
Young was only 5'4 and is one of the shortest pro football players. He set some track records before his NFL career, and was a college ball star even as a Freshman. He was the first Colt to have his number retired. With the small set sizes in the 50's, most 'common cards' were actually really good players.
