Lonnie Young (born July 18, 1963) was an American football defensive back who played twelve seasons in the NFL. He went Beecher Senior High School, right outside of Flint, Michigan. He was a classmate and teammate of future professional football player, Carl Banks, another esteemed Beecher alum. He is currently a scout for the Cardinals.

Lonnie Young appears on the Phoenix Cardinals roster in Tecmo Super Bowl for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Nobody knows exactly why, but he is the fastest player in the entire game. Some believe his blazing speed is due to a programming error or glitch. It has been a mystery to Tecmo fans since 1991, when the game was originally released.
