Summary
Colbie Young is a large-framed perimeter receiver who relies on his significant length and catch radius to secure contested passes. A multi-school veteran, he has shown the ability to produce in the red zone and track deep balls effectively. While physical tools are his primary asset, his draft stock is clouded by significant off-field legal history and a serious leg fracture that sidelined him for much of the 2025 season.
About
- 2024-25: Missed 15 games due to injury/suspension
- Career: Began at Division II Lackawanna College in 2021
Strengths
- Large catch radius with the ability to secure off-target balls.
- Strong high-point ability makes him a viable target in scoring zones.
- Physical runner after the catch who can play through arm tackles.
Weaknesses
- Significant off-field concerns including a prior arrest and suspension.
- Durability is a major question after a 2025 leg fracture.
- Rarely utilized as a blocker despite his size and frame.
Combine Data
- 40-yard dash: 4.49 seconds

Bengals' Colbie Young: Picked up by Bengals
The Bengals selected Young in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 140th overall.
Young certainly doesn't lack for size at 6-foot-5, 218 pounds, and he moves well for that size, running a 4.49 4-yard dash at the NFL Combine, though he takes a bit of time to get up to speed. Young's height and big frame give him plenty of range, and he's comfortable working down the field, but he doesn't have a special-teams background. That's likely something he'll need to learn with the Bengals, but Young will also get an opportunity to hone his craft behind two star wideouts in Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. However, the room behind that duo and Andrei Iosivas is largely unproven, so Young could have a chance to carve out a spot pretty high on the depth chart with a good showing in training camp.
