With NFL pass rushers coming after him and not surrounded by superior talent, he also might need to scramble even more often.

Even if you add the 0.05-second penalty for pro day times historically running faster than Combine times, that’s still an 89th-percentile performance among QBs. He then ran a 4.58-second 40 time at his pro day.That climbed to 9.1 last season, with Young totaling 311 yards on the ground. He tallied 273 yards (without sack yardage taken out) in 2021, averaging 6.1 per attempt, according to PFF. Young increased his rushing production.He actually managed to increase his average target depth by a yard (9.0 to 10.0) despite losing Jameson Williams and having a RB as his reception leader.

Young tied for 13th in adjusted completion rate for the second straight year among 172 QBs with 100+ dropbacks.

3 WR Slade Bolden landed in the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2022. He lost John Metchie (Round 2) and Jameson Williams (Round 1), the dominant top 2 wideouts off his breakthrough 2021 Alabama team. Throw in that Young will stay deep in QB2 ADP territory, and he’s fine to take shots on as a fantasy backup and potential value option in multi-QB formats and best ball builds. It’s certainly fair to assume he’ll at least be inconsistent in 2023, and maybe even that he’ll struggle.īut there’s more rushing upside than you might expect, and that adds sneaky fantasy value. Young is a pint-sized rookie QB with an iffy crew of pass catchers.
