Patriots Target Zion Young for Pass Rush Boost
Description
The New England Patriots are focusing on Missouri edge rusher Zion Young to bolster their pass rush in the 2026 NFL Draft. With a defense that ranked 19th in pass-rush win rate and tied for 26th in sacks last season, the Patriots aim to address these issues with their 11 picks. Young, a 62, 262-pound twenty-one-year-old, showcases impressive size, athleticism, and double-team dominance. Despite needing refinement in his pass-rush technique, his raw tools make him an attractive Day One project for defensive coordinator Zak Kuhr. The Patriots are expected to target Young at pick 31 in the first round, potentially elevating their pass rush to elite status.
