2011 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Titus Young

Strengths:
  • Speed to burn
  • Quick start off line of scrimmage
  • Deep threat
  • Elusive after catch
  • Dangerous kickoff returner
  • Competitive and passionate



    Weaknesses:
  • Will drop some passes
  • Does not project as full-time starter
  • Character concerns
  • Piled up stats against inferior competition
  • Needs to prove he can beat jams at line as pro
  • Not much value as run blocker due to size
  • Lacks strength

    Summary: Titus Young appears to be the next in a growing list of game-changing deep threats. Adding to his value, he carried the ball 47 times and scored on eight of those efforts. He also handled kickoff return duties. Issues surrounding his 2008 suspension from the team will need to be addressed. Most teams will take the chance because Young can be dangerous is so many different ways.

    Player Comparison: DeSean Jackson. Young’s dominant performance in Senior Bowl practices drew comparisons to Jackson. He is actually a little taller and not quite as quick on his first step, but he is every bit as capable of burning a defense deep. His return threat mostly comes on kickoffs although he could also return punts as a pro.
