U gets lost as a corner, but not as a safety. The dude is a weight room maniac and has bulked up even more for this season to the point where I'm willing to bet he can take on the role of strong safety almost like a speedier and more immediately in your face linebacker type this year in spot duty too. Plus his skills on special teams coverage units is invaluable.

I have to completely disagree with you Rugby Saint II...

I agree; U. Young is a beast on special teams!

He is good on special teams.....I'll give him that. I had high hopes for him when he came here and I've been less impressed each year. I wish he would develop a little faster then and I could feel good about him on the field.
To date I can only remember one play where he really stood out. I don't want to give a contract to somebody who hasn't even been able to take a spot on the field. jmho
