Zion Young Adds โTrain Wreckโ Physicality to Ravens Edge Room When Jesse Minter talks about edge defenders, it usually comes back to traits, and in Zion Young's case, the traits are obvious, physical, and disruptive. "Zion [Young] is a rugged, tough, physical player. I think he's just scratching the surface of what he can be as a player.
I think there's a ton of upside there. I love his play style. He plays extremely hard and plays extremely physical.
Heโs very powerful in the run game, meaning, when he strikes blocks, they go the other way. When people pull on him and he strikes him, it's a train wreck. He's also proven to be โ I thought he made major improvements this year as a pass rusher, something he took a lot of pride in this year, improving in that area.
I do think he has the ability to rush up and down the line. So, he has some versatility there, particularly as you get into third down, and you want to put different guys in different spots. You want to have different types of rushers, and you look at that room now โ that's a really versatile room that I couldn't be more excited about.
