Overview
- Young was revealed as the No. 84 player on the NFL Top 100 list published July 2, 2026, marking his first appearance on the player-voted ranking.
- His place on the list follows a breakout 2025 that included a career-high 12 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, 29 quarterback hits, and a Pro Bowl selection.
- Multiple players publicly praised Young’s relentlessness and speed, with peers calling him an intense, 'dog-type' competitor who finishes plays.
- Los Angeles added Myles Garrett in the 2026 offseason, and having Garrett rush from the other side could increase one-on-one opportunities and sack chances for Young.
- Jeffery Simmons was slotted at No. 83 after signing a multiyear extension, providing a market comparison for how a strong 2026 season could affect Young’s contract outlook.
