Young should help improve a Baltimore pass rush that struggled at time in 2025. The Ravens had the league’s fifth lowest QB pressure rate, and their 30 team sacks ranked 29th in 2025. Young (6’5/262) recorded 58 total tackles with 18 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, and 23 havoc plays, while generating 31 run stops, forcing two fumbles and earning an 85.0 overall grade. His run involvement is notable for an edge defender with a strong 90.6% tackle efficiency, underscoring his ability to set the edge and finish in space. As a pass rusher, Young produced a sterling 15.4% pressure rate, adding four sacks created and two strip sacks. His profile shows a balanced defender who can collapse the pocket without sacrificing run discipline, though continued development of counter moves and finishing consistency will be key at the next level. Overall, Young projects as a versatile 4-3 defensive end with rotational utility early-on, and long-term starter upside as his pass-rush toolbox expands.
