With the 77th overall pick in the 2023 the NFL draft, the Los Angeles Rams have selected defensive end/edge Byron Young out of Tennessee. Young had some traits good enough to go towards the first round, but he is not his namesake.
He will be a 25-year-old rookie in 2023, but the Rams are getting a player added to the defensive line with a unique combination of size and speed.
Young is 6’2, 250 lbs, with 32.5” arms and he ran a 4.43 40-yard dash at the combine with a 1.62 10-yard split and a 38” vertical.
