From the article

At 6-foot-4 and around 220 pounds, Young has excellent size for the receiver position. This allows him to make contested catches consistently over cornerbacks. He is more of a big-play weapon than incumbent wide receiver No. 3 Andrei Iosivas. At Georgia, over 75% of Young's receptions resulted in either a first down or a touchdown.

Positive signalRole

Young's size and production profile position him as a big-play weapon with upside to earn snaps.

Fourth-round rookie WR out of Georgia with 6-foot-4, 220-pound frame positioned as a big-play weapon with excellent size for contested catches. At Georgia, over 75% of his receptions resulted in either a first down or a touchdown, running primarily posts and 9 routes. Had his best training camp day on Monday with a spectacular sideline catch from Joe Flacco and a touchdown reception from Joe Burrow, demonstrating the ability to high-point the football over defenders. Young is learning from two Hall of Fame receivers and expects to earn playing time as the season progresses.
