Welcome to the Morning Commute
Today we’re talking about two young former Tigers who are making their way into the NFL.
While the Tigers had a healthy number of players drafted a few weeks ago, Zion Young and Josiah Trotter made some noise going back-to-back in the second round to the Ravens and Buccaneers respectively. And while it’s not exactly a surprise to hear that teams are excited about high round picks, both Young and Trotter seem to be settling in well, impressing and giving hope to their new teams.
“I also think that he can play in coverage. I think that’s a little bit of a misnomer. I don’t know if it’s the narrative the media is putting out, but he’s actually pretty good at it,” [Tampa Bay Vice President of Player Personnel Mike] Biehl said. “That being said, he’s an old school, downhill MIKE [linebacker] that can play the run which is hard to find nowadays. With the college game the way it has went, it’s all lateral and everybody is looking for the speed stuff. To us, he has enough speed to play in our league. Now, if you said he’s a better run defender than a pass defender, I would say yeah, that’s probably fair, but we think he has the capability to be a three-down linebacker.”
And from Baltimore’s GM on if the team will pursue veterans on the defensive line:
We feel really good about Zion, and we feel really good about Mike Green, not to mention Trey. It’s gonna be hard to get him off the field. So it becomes a matter of reps.”
This comes a week after Young was praised by teammates for his earliest days in purple and black.
Football season is still a few months away, but it’s looking likely Young and Trotter will see plenty of the field this fall/winter.
