Impact Young's production in his sophomore season was eerily similar to his rookie campaign, albeit logging one more combined tackle and 0.5 sacks less. The 2023 third-round pick was part of a young, formidable Rams' pass rush along with Kobie Turner, Jared Verse and Braden Fiske (knee), with the foursome logging 28.5 sacks during the regular season. They played a key role in the Rams' NFC wild-card win over the Vikings when they sacked Sam Darnold seven times.

Sacks Murray in Week 17 win Young tallied eight tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Saturday's 13-9 win over Arizona.

Impact Young sacked Kyler Murray midway through the second quarter for a six-yard loss, which forced the Cardinals to punt on the next play. Young is now up to 7.0 sacks through 16 regular-season games, and the 2023 third-round pick is one sack shy from matching his total from his rookie campaign. He'll have an opportunity to do so against Geno Smith and the Seahawks in Week 17.
