After second-year QB Dwayne Haskins was stripped of his captaincy earlier this week, the Washington Football Team has reportedly named rookie DE Chase Young one of the team captains going forward.
We argued that this is what Washington should have done earlier this week, as it has become clear that Young is one of the emotional leaders of the team, both on and off the field. Veterans and young players alike have remarked all season long how much of a leader Young is, and his energy on the sideline and before games in the huddle is palpable. It is clear that everyone on the team looks up to him, and he has a strong voice in the locker room.
Now he will have a C on his chest for hopefully a long time in Washington as well.
