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

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.
