Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Provides some secondary interior pass rush, getting most penetration when playing three technique.
  • While powerful, doesn't rock the guard/ center back with his upper-body strength or explode into tackles.
  • His motor is excellent, and he’s quick to locate the ball and make plays against the run.
  • Good weight-room strength, which translates onto the field in terms of his anchor.
  • Strong tackler. Has good power in hands and can anchor, shed, and chase.
  • Young is strong enough in the lower body to hold up at the point of attack, and Young displays a good feel as a grappler in the phone booth, consistently getting blockers off-balance before sending them to the ground.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Lacks closing speed and inconsistent quickness off the snap prevents him from being an elite pass rusher.
  • His spin move is a bit slow and mechanical. He’s susceptible to cut blocks, a tactic that was used on him often
  • While he’s a decent lateral mover, Young doesn’t show great closing speed when he has to chase in pursuit.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
