Ravens take Temple CB Tavon Young in the fourth round
In Saturday's third and final day of the NFL draft, Temple cornerback Tavon Young was picked by the Baltimore Ravens with the sixth choice in the fourth round, which was the 104th selection overall.
Young grew up near Washington, D.C. He is listed at 5-9, 183 pounds.
His NFL.com biography blurb says:
Young went from high school football and track star (his 4x100-meter relay team won at the Penn Relays, set Maryland high school record) in the Washington, D.C. area to a starting corner for two games for the Owls as a true freshman, intercepting two passes. That success earned him a shared starting spot in his sophomore year (one interception, five pass break-ups). He became a playmaker as a junior, picking off opposing quarterback four times, leading the conference with 153 return yards and returning one interception for a touchdown. Young had surgery on his left knee before his senior year, but it didn't stop him from excelling in his final campaign with the Owls. His lack of statistical production kept him off all-conference teams in 2015 (41 tackles, five for loss, sack, seven pass breakups), but that was partially due to his ability to shut down opposing receivers.
