After winning NFL defensive rookie of the year in 2020, Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young’s career hasn’t gone as planned. There was a devastating knee injury in Week 10 of the 2021 season that not only ended Young’s season but kept him out until Week 16 of the 2022 season.
In three NFL seasons, Young has just nine career sacks, 7.5 of which came in 2020. Again, you can throw out the 2022 season, as Young didn’t play but three games after a grueling recovery. The concern with Young was his 1.5 sacks through nine games in 2021.
