After a rookie season in which he recorded 7.5 sacks and won the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award, Washington defensive end Chase Young is set for an even bigger year two.
Overtime Sports sent out a tweet on Thursday showing Young working out, promising that he’s going to be “SCARY” in 2021.
Kansas City All-Pro safety Tyrann “Honey Badger” Mathieu saw the tweet and responded.

Young played in 15 games as a rookie, recording 44 tackles, including 10 for loss, 7.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, three fumbles recoveries and one interception.
The 29-year-old Mathieu knows a thing or two about talented defenders. He is coming off his second consecutive first-team All-Pro season.
