"He started well in Washington, winning the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award. Injuries and performance regression took a tumble after that, and the Commanders traded Young to the San Francisco 49ers for a conditional third-round selection before the 2023 deadline. That didn't last long, but he's found a home with the New Orleans Saints. Chase Young is putting together the dominant run Commanders fans wanted"
"The NFC South club has turned things around after a horrific start to the campaign, and Young is at the forefront. He's logged 5.5 sacks in his last six games, taking his tally to 8.5 on the year. His Week 17 forced fumble, ripping the ball from Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward before taking it into the end zone for a score, was nothing short of phenomenal."
Chase Young entered the NFL as a generational prospect from Ohio State and the No. 2 overall pick. He won Defensive Rookie of the Year in his first season but then struggled with injuries and performance regression. The Washington Commanders traded him to the San Francisco 49ers for a conditional third-round pick before 2023, and he later signed with the New Orleans Saints. With the Saints he has recorded 5.5 sacks in his last six games and 8.5 on the season, including a Week 17 forced fumble returned for a touchdown. The recent surge secures his roster spot and a larger paycheck in 2026.
