Where is Chase Young ranked in ESPN's top edge rushers?
ESPN recently named its list of top 10 edge rushers in the NFL. The network said the rankings were finalized after speaking to a combination of 50 executives, scouts, players and coaches. Naturally, these rankings would interest fans of the Washington Football Team, who have a pair of recent first-round pass-rushers in Montez Sweat and Chase Young. Young did, coming in at No. 7. Heres ESPNs assessment of Young:  The cant-miss prospect out of the 2020 draft proved that he was up to that description during his rookie season. His 22.5% pass-rush win rate ranked eighth among all NFL defenders, and he showed a flare for the splash play with four forced fumbles and four pass deflections. Hes going to be dominant for a very long time, a veteran NFL defensive coach said. Monster. You could see that coming out of Ohio State. He not only had the massive talent but acted like a professional before he got to the league. He knows what it takes, and his get-off is already one of the best in the league. Young also handles double teams well, winning 10 of 69 matchups (14.5%) when covered by two blockers. Hes the youngest player in this top 10 by three full years and could be primed to move up as his career progresses. Sweat did not make the list. Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns topped the list. Young was the youngest player on the list at 22 years of age.
