The No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft by
Washington, Young was dealt by the Commanders to the 49ers in
exchange for a third-round draft pick last October. He played
nine regular-season games for San Francisco, recording 10
tackles and 2.5 sacks. Young added 11 tackles in the 49ers'
playoff run, including a sack in the Super Bowl.
Young, 24, was the Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2020 after
registering 44 tackles, 7.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and three
fumble recoveries in 15 games.
A torn right anterior cruciate ligament limited him to nine
games in 2021 and three games in 2022. He bounced back to appear
in seven games and start six times for Washington last year,
producing 15 tackles and five sacks in those contests.
In 43 career NFL games (32 starts), Young has 100 tackles, 16.5
sacks, six forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.
