Chase Young: “I get to play in front of my family, I get to put on for where I’m from. I get to play for the Washington Redskins.”

Young said he watches a lot of old film of pass-rushers. In college, Young asked one of his coaches to put every sack of Nick Bosa, Joey Bosa, Von Miller and Khalil Mack in a folder so that he could watch whenever he wanted. #Redskins

Chase Young says learning his craft as a pass rusher was "a process" at Ohio State. Improved every year.

Chase Young on his time at Ohio State: "There's a lot of stuff I can correct. I can definitely get better."

Scary thought there.

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) April 27, 2020

Young said it's really exciting to know that the technique Joey and Nick Bosa learned at Ohio State is working well in the NFL. Both Bosa brothers won NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. #Redskins

Chase Young says if he has to compare his game to anyone he thinks it could be Julius Peppers

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) April 27, 2020

If Young had to compare himself to an edge rusher, it would be Julius Peppers. He always grew up watching Peppers, and his family would always talk about Peppers. #Redskins

— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) April 27, 2020

Scouts often make comparisons between Chase Young and Julius Peppers. Chase just did as well. "That's a guy I always grew up watching." His dad was a fan of the Carolina pass rusher.

Chase Young says when it comes to OL, he spends a few days studying them, play recognition, stance different during formations, tendencies #HTTR

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) April 27, 2020

.@youngchase907’s game prep is very detailed. He breaks it up by days leading up to game day and looks for intricate details on opposing offensive lines and which plays offenses run out of different sets. #Redskins

— Zach Selby (@ZachDSelby) April 27, 2020

Young says studying offensive linemen is a multi-day process. He likes to study their technique, tendencies and movements based on formations. #Redskins

— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) April 27, 2020

Chase said he should get his Ipad with his playbook today or tomorrow. Said he can have private meetings with coaches, still working all that out. "I'm rolling with the punches."

— George Wallace (@GWallaceWTOP) April 27, 2020

Young figuring out a plan for how to make up for lost OTA workouts. He plans to take part in the Redskins' virtual offseason program and (virtually) meet with his new position coach (Sam Mills).

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) April 27, 2020

Chase Young to DC media zoom call: most excited for my parents for home games they can drive 20 minutes to see me play, and we can have a cookout afterwards. #httr

Young when asked what was going through his head once he had a moment to himself amid the NFL draft chaos:

"Time to go to work."

This guy is just wired differently.

— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) April 27, 2020

Chase Young said he’ll keep the tackles he’s most looking forward to facing to himself — keep that insider knowledge. But did mention in division tackles like Tyron Smith and Jason Peters (formerly with Eagles) as players he respects the game of #HTTR

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) April 27, 2020

Chase Young wants to be a role model for kids: "I want every kid in Maryland, every kid in DMV to know that I'm a good guy. ... I want to have a foundation. I want to make my presence felt throughout the whole community."

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) April 27, 2020

Chase Young says he wants to have camps and foundations, which he’s working on now, in the area. He wants to show people that he’s a regular guy, who can be open. #HTTR

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) April 27, 2020

Just a note on this from earlier: 6’7 as a sophomore, 6’10 now

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) April 27, 2020

Chase said it’s a possibility he could still be growing, which should be a scary thought for opposing offenses. He doesn’t feel like it will negatively affect his game at all. #Redskins

— Zach Selby (@ZachDSelby) April 27, 2020

Young is currently 6-foot-5, 264 pounds. There's also the possibility that he's not done growing. Doctors said there's some room left in his growth plates. His dad also grew a few inches later in life.

— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) April 27, 2020

Here's Chase Young addressing the possibility of growing. He's 6-foot-5 now and thinks he could become taller in the NFL. Absurd. Don't fret, though — he doesn't see it impacting his on-field contributions at all pic.twitter.com/I6g7h1kMk4

Young: Plan A was always to become a first-round pick. Mission accomplished.

— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) April 27, 2020

Being a first round pick was always plan A for Chase Young when he was a little kid watching the draft in his tank top #HTTR

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) April 27, 2020

Young said the first thing he'd do when preparing for an opponent was to watch the top 5 runs. That way, he'd be able to recognize what formations signify different run plays.

— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) April 27, 2020

Chase Young knows sacks get the attention but he believes his film against the run game is really strong too

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) April 27, 2020

Young said his run defense is a big part of his skillset. He thinks that was an area where his skillset excelled. Said he can play double teams and pulling guards. “If those people who know ball for real go back and watch, they know what I can do.” #Redskins

— Zach Selby (@ZachDSelby) April 27, 2020

Chase Young shows off a maturity and football smarts beyond his years when he speaks. The 16.5 sacks draw a lot of attention, but he also he prides himself on his run defense. Redskins were 2nd to last giving up 146 a GM. #httr #redskins #chaseyoung

— Julie Donaldson (@JDonaldsonNBCS) April 27, 2020

Chase Young on having other teammates that help a pass rusher: when you have a defensive line with a bunch of 1st rounders and dawgs, there’s not much an offense can do. #httr

— Chick Hernandez (@MrChickSports) April 27, 2020

Chase Young says when there’s only one talented defensive linemen, he can only be so great. But when a unit of first rounders? Pick your poison. Cites wishing he could’ve played with Nick Bosa the year he got hurt #HTTR

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) April 27, 2020

Young believes he's a fierce competitor and said he will "put his best foot forward" as he competes for a starting job along the defensive line.

— Kyle Stackpole (@kylefstackpole) April 27, 2020

Young said he wants to go into the #Redskins ready to work. He’ll be learning from veterans like Ryan Kerrigan and Jonathan Allen in addition to young talent like Montez Sweat.
