Titus Young, Detroit Lions, 44th Pick, 2nd Round, 2011 NFL Draft


Young, Titus Boise State 5112 174 4.53
Started 26 games in his career. An explosive sure-handed catcher
who plucks the ball away from his frame and can make the deep
over shoulder catch. Quick in and out of his route cuts. Has the
speed to get behind the secondary and make a big play. Quick
feet to avoid press coverage. Will reach and extend for an off
target pass. A wiry, but slender built vertical receiver. Well
coached. Looks ball into his hands. Plays fast with a burst up the
field after he snatches the ball in his hands. Has explosive play
speed. Runs the fly sweep reverse. Best as a short or vertical
receiver. Can separate from defender with speed, quickness, and
guile. Good body control and contact balance after catch. Not
easy to tackle in space. A sticky type stick and stay blocker. Has
caught 204 passes for 3063 yards and 25 touchdowns in his
career.
