Young made the Pro Bowl from 1984 through 1987, and he was an AP first-team All-Pro in his fourth and final season with the Seahawks.

As a rookie, he became the first AFC player to make the Pro Bowl as a special-teams player who wasn’t a return specialist.

In 1988, Young was traded to the Colts for a pair of first-round picks after a contract fight with the Seahawks. He then spent three seasons in Indianapolis.

For his career, Young appeared in 101 regular-season games with 79 starts.
