Chase Young on Sam Howell: ‘He’s that dude’

Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young has never been shy about supporting his teammates. Remember during Washington’s playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when the then-rookie ran to quarterback Taylor Heinicke, pointing at his jersey and pronouncing his name for the world to know.

In Sunday’s win over the Denver Broncos, Young returned to action after missing Week 1 with a neck injury. Young was everywhere, recording 1.5 sacks and two quarterback hits. He harassed Denver quarterback Russell Wilson from start to finish.

Howell did his part, too, connecting on 27 of 39 passes for 299 yards and two touchdowns. Washington had trailed the Broncos, 21-3, before Howell led a comeback.

After Sunday’s win, Aditi Kinkhabwala caught up with the pair after the game. She asked Young about his second-year quarterback.

“He’s that dude,” Young said with a smile. “We know he that dude. We been knew he that dude. Sammy Sosa, that’s all I can say.”

We aren’t quite sure why he called him the name of a former MLB star, but all three shared a laugh, and it was hilarious.
