Boise State senior Titus Young brings an electric style of play to the wide receiver class in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Young recorded 71 catches for 1,215 yards and nine touchdowns in 2010. His 2009 junior season was highlighted by a career-best 10 touchdown receptions; he finished the year with 79 catches for 1,041 yards. Young has scored at least one rushing touchdown in each of his four seasons at Boise State.

Strengths

• Big-play threat
• Strong hands for added ball security
• Quick on his feet
• Tracks over the shoulder well

• Dynamic multi-threat

  Excellent balance and lateral agility
• Explosive return specialist
• Very crisp route runner
• Understands his placement on the field - works the sidelines well
• Elite short-area burst and elusiveness 
• Productive

Weaknesses 

• Character issues (suspended nine games in 2008 for violating team rules)
• Thin frame (5-foot-11 3/8, 174 pounds)
• Size limits his blocking ability
• Suspect hands - drops routine catches from time to time
• Could be pigeonholed as a slot receiver

Expected draft placement

Count on Young being a solid third-round pick in the draft. He could sneak into the second round if a team believes they've found a poor man's DeSean Jackson, but Young's questionable hands and off-the-field concerns may set him back in the draft.
