2023 Fantasy Outlook
With the Rams choosing to let their top two linebackers in Bobby Wagner and Leonard Floyd depart in free agency, they spent a third-round pick on Young, who notched 23.5 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks over two seasons in Tennessee. The Rams outside linebacker crew only returned converted defensive end Michael Hoecht and little-used Keir Thomas and Daniel Hardy from last season, setting up Young for a big role in his rookie year. Read Past Outlooks
Stellar rookie campaign
Young logged 61 tackles (42 solo), 8.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery during the 2023 regular season over 17 games played.
ANALYSIS
A third-round pick out of Tennessee, the rookie outside linebacker stepped in and immediately produced at an elite level as a starter, leading all rookie edge rushers in sacks and establishing himself as one the anchors for the Rams at linebacker alongside Ernest Jones. Young may have a new counterpart on the outside, as Michael Hoecht is a restricted free agent, and the rest of the group behind them are unproven rookies and UDFAs, but Young looks like a steal after one season in Los Angeles.
