The Los Angeles Rams addressed their pass rush early in the draft by selecting Byron Young out of Tennessee, a two-year contributor for the Volunteers. In 2021 and 2022, he had 12.5 total sacks and 23.5 tackles for a loss, proving to be a disruptive force on the edge.
The Rams selected him with the 77th overall pick, adding one of the most athletic pass rushers in the class. He ran a 4.43 in the 40-yard dash at 6-foot-2 and 250 pounds, also posting a 38-inch vertical with an 11-foot broad jump.
