The 6'2, 230 receiver has just 72 receiving yards in his career, but he may have a chance to take the 'X' role for Klint Kubiak if he can stay consistent which has a chance to lead to 400-600 yards. Additionally, Young's best impact comes on special teams. He's been a proven gunner with a career 24 tackles and 3 FF including 2 FR, and 4 tackles in the playoffs.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Young could fill X role (400-600 yards) but excels as gunner and kick returner.

Young, a 6'2, 230 receiver with just 72 career receiving yards, may take the 'X' role under Klint Kubiak with potential for 400-600 yards if he stays consistent; his primary impact comes on special teams where he is a proven gunner with 24 career tackles, 3 FF, 2 FR, and 4 playoff tackles, and he may also serve as kick returner after recording 322 yards on 10 attempts in 2025.
