Through two weeks this season, we’ve seen Young quickly rise to the top of Washington’s formidable offensive line, where he leads the team in sacks (2.5), which is also tied for the league-high. According to Pro Football Focus, he is the highest-graded rookie with an 81.1 overall grade, and his eight pressures are the most among any player in his draft class.
On the other side of the ball, Wills has stepped right into the starting spot on Cleveland’s offense, where he has performed well thus far, with a 66.4 overall grade, which is fourth among rookie offensive linemen. Through 59 pass-blocking attempts, Wills has only allowed three pressures, with one sack given up.
So who will get the better of the battle on Sunday when these two line up against each other? The numbers definitely favor Washington’s young superstar, but it will be an entertaining matchup, nonetheless.
