Julian Young , a Division III football player from Colby College , participated in the Baltimore Ravens' rookie mini -camp.

The 6 -foot-1, 234-pound linebacker was one of just three Division III players at Baltimore 's camp.

Young was a first team All-NESCAC selection in each of his final three seasons with the Mules .

Young: "Not many people get that opportunity at the D-III level".

Julian Young is the first Colby product to get close to stepping on an NFL field for a game in generations.

The chances for a D-III player aiming to make the NFL are slim, but certainly not impossible.

Young reflected fondly on the bonds he forged with friends and teammates in addition to the academic opportunity of studying abroad.
