The Ravens selected Young in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, 104th overall.

Analysis:

Young fills a need in Baltimore as the Ravens are extremely thin at cornerback behind Jimmy Smith. At 5-foot-9, 183 pounds, Young is certainly on the smaller side and is likely destined for a nickel corner role in Baltimore. He was one of the stars of a stout and hard-nosed defense at Temple, and he does exhibit some ball skills, as evidenced by his seven career interceptions. Young will have a chance to see playing time early in his rookie season thanks to Baltimore's shallow secondary, but how he adjusts to playing against bigger and stronger competition will be a determining factor in his success.
