NFL analyst says Ravens got value in Zion Young despite low sack totals

Yahoo Sports

Draft analyst warns against basing expectations for Zion Young strictly on sack numbers.

It's easy to look at the number. It's harder to understand the impact. Commit that to memory.

The advice will serve you well. As the Baltimore Ravens continue reshaping their pass rush, much of the early conversation around Zion Young centered on one stat: his sack total. On the surface, it's easy to see why.

We're talking about an elite pass rusher. He registered 6. 5 sacks?

That doesn't immediately jump off the page, but that's exactly why ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. is urging skeptics to exercise a little caution . He grades Baltimore's draft weekend a 'B+' effort.
