Colbie Young NFL Draft Scouting Report

Colbie Young NFL Draft Scouting Report

Colbie Young’s size allows him to be a productive middle-of-the-field target or a red zone threat, dominating in one-on-one opportunities.

Draft Grade: Round 5 - Scheme Specific Contributor

Strengths:

Frame/Size:Young's frame and size allow him to essentially box out defenders to catch the football.

Red-Zone Threat:In the red zone, Young has the overall size and length to be targeted frequently to come down with the football.

Alignment Versatility:Young is an alignment-versatile prospect who can fill the role of playing the big slot or a flex TE position in certain schemes.

Concerns:

Top-End Speed: Young appears to lack top-end speed to separate from defenders vertically to create explosive downfield plays.

Ability to Separate:Young struggles in the short, intermediate, and deep portions of the field to separate from defenders, forcing him to rely on his ability to make contested catches.
