Despite missing two games because of a ridiculous suspension, Young has piled up an incredible 16.5 sacks this season, which is the most in the nation. Young has been completely unblockable this season, consistently creating pressure on the passer off of the edge and also shutting down opposing rushing attacks.
Young essentially has it all on the edge, combining his great size, power and athleticism with impressive quickness and explosive speed. He has a lightning-quick first step and constantly gets elite upfield burst. Young can win with raw speed and bend around the edge or he can dip inside with a quick move. He is a smart player who holds his ground when needed and can set the edge with ease.
Simply put, Young is a superstar defensive player in the making. He is the kind of guy you build a defense around and the ideal player for the New York Giants to add to the mix in the 2020 NFL Draft. Make no mistake about it, this pick would be an absolute game-changer for this team.
