Colbie Young, a wide receiver from Georgia, was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. He is noted for his determination, having returned from a fractured fibula to play in the College Football Playoff.
Our series taking a quick look at each of the Bengals' draft picks continues with the second pick the Cincinnati Bengals made in the fourth round, Georgia wide receiver Colbie Young.
As always, Dane Brugler's "The Beast" draft guide will help guide us with these facts and bits of background information.
A nod to his strong football character, Young did everything he could to rejoin his team for Georgia's run in the College Football Playoff. He suffered a fractured left fibula back in October and missed six games. While most draft prospects would have just ridden out the rest of the season and focused on the draft, Young went through a tough rehabilitation process and got himself back on the field for the playoffs. He caught three passes for 22 yards in Georgia's 39-34 loss to Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl quarterfinal.
Between investigations and injuries, Young only appeared in 13 games between 2024 and 2025. We already touched on the leg injury in 2025. In October 2024, Young was arrested on misdemeanor charges of battery and assault. Due to the pending investigation, Young did not play in Georgia's final nine games of the season.
Ultimately, those charges were dropped as the accuser eventually retracted her statement. Young did plead "no contest" to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct in January 2025 and received 12 months of probation.

In his takeaway section on Young, Brugler had this to say about the Bengals' fourth-round pick: "Young is a big-framed athlete with fluid, long strides and the strong hands needed to consistently come down with the rock. He is an attractive option for an NFL team seeking a player who’s stylistically similar to Courtland Sutton."
Never bad to be compared to one of the better wide receivers in the league. Sutton has reached 1,000 receiving yards in each of his last two seasons with 15 total touchdowns. Young (6-4, 221) is also very similarly sized to Sutton (6-4, 216).
Young grew up in a big family. He is one of 15 children. He has seven brothers and seven sisters. His brother, Devin, played football at Maine and Sacred Heart. Young grew up in Binghamton, New York.
