Baltimore Ravens rookie cornerback Tavon Young was a personal favorite of mine throughout the draft process and so far, he is showing why. Ravens defensive backs coach Leslie Frazier has gone out of his way to praise him and the reports on Young’s daily improvements have been forthcoming at just that rate.
The compliment of the “game not being too big for him” is perhaps the strongest endorsement that can be given to a rookie. Defensive backs, veterans included, have traditionally struggled to pick up the mental aspects of the defensive scheme under Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees.
