1. Hunter Young, DE    New
40 tkl, 3 TFL, 1 Missed Tackle, 7 sacks, 1 FF, 1 Safety
Young is the first player not named Dax Frost to top this list. Despite being picked 60th in the draft, he’s exploded onto the scene, picking up 7 sacks (including 1 safety) and a monstrous 40 tackles from the EDGE spot. He almost doubled the production of the next DE (Immanuel Blackstone) across these 6 games, and has a good start to the regular season with 2 sacks, a safety and a FF.

Its technically true that he's playing EDGE because he's playing a 3-4 LOLB most of the time. In real life they are so similar that we've started referring to them by the same name, but in the sim, as far as I can tell they are treated pretty differently and a DE at the LB position has a pretty distinct advantage. They've got him in a great spot for him to maximize his stats, honestly. Meanwhile, Blackstone has been playing at DT in 3-4.

This is a great article though!
