Colbie Young
Colbie Maleek Young (born July 24, 2002) is an American professional football wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, selected in the fourth round (140th overall) of the 2026 NFL draft. He played college football at Lackawanna College, Miami, and Georgia, showcasing early talent with 24 catches and 9 touchdowns at Lackawanna and leading Miami in touchdown receptions during his first season there. His college career was disrupted in October 2024 when he was arrested and charged with battery and assault of an unborn child after injuring his pregnant ex-girlfriend, leading to a suspension from Georgia coach Kirby Smart. He accepted a plea deal in January 2025, receiving 12 months of probation, and was reinstated to the Georgia team in March 2025 following the resolution of his legal issues and the Pavia v. NCAA ruling. He signed his rookie contract with the Bengals on May 8, 2026, after being drafted. Growing up in Binghamton, New York, he was a first-team all-state selection in high school, scoring 14 touchdowns in eight games.
