Young can win against any type of coverage. Defensive backs struggle to jam him at the line, and when they play off coverage, Young still finds a way to get behind them. His long strides help him zoom past cornerbacks over the middle of the field and outside the numbers. Young does a good job slowing down for passes and makes miraculous adjustments to bring in balls. His elite measurements and athletic traits will allow him to be a difference-maker on either side of the ball at the next level.

Croasmun is a physical linebacker and tight end who can make plays or stop them at a high level. When lining up in the middle of the Phoenix’s defense, he excels at diagnosing plays and quickly closes on ball carriers. He shoots through gaps and is a strong tackler. Croasmun possesses elite sideline-to-sideline quickness and takes good angles when closing on ball carriers. At the tight end, he does a good job generating movement up front but can also slip out in the passing game and pick up chunks of yardage.

Frasure is fantastic when it comes to breaking up deep passing plays. He does a great job reading quarterbacks’ eyes and can quickly close on receivers. Frasure plays the ball in the air well and times his pass breakups well to avoid a flag. He takes good angles and goes low to take down bigger backs when coming down in run support. He’s a reliable last line of defense and will put his body on the line to make stops. Frasure can also cover receivers and, with his quick feet, would be a remarkable returner at the next level.

Watson has wheels for days, and they help him shine on both sides of the ball. He consistently gets behind defenses and has exceptional breakaway speed after the catch. Watson is a skilled route runner who quickly gets in and out of his breaks. He’s incredibly hard to tackle in the open field, where his quick feet help him shake defenders out of his cleats. Watson can line up all over the field and move the chains. His smooth hips would make him an elite defensive back as well.
