The former Alabama standout played 99 defensive snaps as a rookie in 2023.
Las Vegas Raiders defensive tackle Byron Young runs through a drill at training camp on July 24, 2024, in Costa Mesa, Calif.Young joined the Raiders as the 70th selection in the 2023 NFL Draft. As a rookie, he appeared in six games and played 99 defensive snaps.. “But I didn’t, and it took me a second to understand that. And it took me a second to take a step back and say, ‘You know, I got to earn the trust of the coaches. Not only the coaches, but the players that are playing behind me.’”.
Young said his first season in the NFL reminded him of his freshman season at Alabama, although in 2019, he played in all 13 games and started five for the Crimson Tide. By 2022, Young was an All-SEC selection and a second-team pick on the American Football Coaches Association’s All-American squad.. “It took me kind of back to when I was a freshman in college because I kind of went through the same thing then. But it was difficult.
Last season, Las Vegas had four interior defensive linemen play more than 500 snaps – Bilal Nichols, John Jenkins, Adam Butler and Jerry Tillery. Jenkins and Butler return for 2024, while Nichols is with the Arizona Cardinals and Tillery with the Minnesota Vikings.
