Young is a powerful, long-armed EDGE defender with high-end starter potential, built to thrive as a physical edge setter and pocket compressor. He wins with outstanding positional strength, leverage, and motor, consistently resetting the line of scrimmage and collapsing pockets with bull rush and long-arm techniques. While he lacks elite burst or bend to win purely on speed, his reliability against the run and ability to convert speed to power make him an ideal fit as a strong-side EDGE in 4–3 or hybrid fronts.
