Rookie wideout Colbie Young has been a revelation of sorts at Cincinnati Bengals training camp so far.
A fourth-round pick by the Bengals this year, Young has been putting up highlights almost daily while working with a variety of teams, backups or otherwise. His massive 6’5” frame has been a problem for defenders every day.
So, another day, at least one notable Young highlight, courtesy of various reporters:

Those post-draft allegations of a Tee Higgins-like game for Young?
Pretty spot on.
The Bengals had a question mark at third wideout this offseason after a rough go from Andrei Iosivas last year. Young is here now to compete for the job when the snaps don’t go to tight end Mike Gesicki and others.
If nothing else, Young is starting to distance himself from everyone behind himself and Iosvias. Names like Charlie Jones, Mitch Tinsley, Kendric Pryor, Ke’Shawn Williams and Dohnte Meyers will duke it out and need special teams value to stick on the final 53-man roster.
But well ahead of final cuts, Young has shown his value as a backup and rotational player. All that remains is proving he can do it during live action while out there for preseason action.
