Tavon Young Of Temple Is Selected By The Baltimore Ravens With The #104 Overall Pick of the 2016 NFL Draft

After waiting Thursday and Friday, Temple cornerback Tavon Young did not have to wait long on Saturday in getting picked by the Baltimore Ravens with the #104 overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft.

Despite holding a size disadvantage, Young plays much bigger and more physical than many 6-0 cornerbacks. He is not afraid to mix things up and lay several impressive hits on receivers and even ball carriers in the run game. Young does an excellent job of getting his arm between the body of the receiver and the ball in order to rip the ball loose for incompletions.
