Versatile, physical Brown safety with proven playmaking instincts
Craig Young brings a long, hybrid defensive profile that can fit a team looking for range and downhill toughness in the secondary: at Kansas in the 2022 and 2023 seasons, he produced 101 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, 6.0 sacks, and 6 pass breakups over 24 games, after flashing at Ohio State with a 70-yard pick-six in 2021.[2][13] His value is in his versatility, experience, and disruptive presence near the line of scrimmage rather than pure ball-hawking volume, which makes him a strong fit for a defense that wants a safety who can cover, blitz, and tackle like an extra linebacker.[2][13]
