02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Young is a good fit for a diverse defensive scheme that prioritizes athletic, versatile defensive backs who can contribute in multiple coverage roles.

Boundary CBSlot CBDime DB
Best role

As a rookie, Young should compete for nickel corner duties and develop into a starting slot/boundary corner by his second or third season.

Wrong fit

He would be a poor fit for a Cover 2 scheme that relies on bigger, more physical corners.

Young's athleticism and quickness make him a valuable asset in today's pass-heavy NFL, particularly in sub-packages.
