Chase Young is now packing his bags and heading to the District of Columbia where he will be the newest star on the Washington Redskins roster. This comes as no surprise, as the Redskins have been keen on drafting Young for months now. But with the pick officially made, it feels good to celebrate if you root for the Redskins.
Celebrate is exactly what fans and players did on Twitter Thursday nights after the pick was announced. While some players and coaches were involved in the Redskins’ Virtual Draft live stream, others took to social media to express their approval of the pick. Here are some of the best reactions:

This marks the first time in NFL draft history that the first three picks were teammates in college at one time: Joe Burrow, Chase Young and Jeffrey Okudah were all at Ohio State together.

Chase Young # 2 to the Redskins. Now here’s a guy that is great at chasing down ball carriers. His first name tells you what he’s going to do to you for Pete’s sake. He’s just that confident, man. I love it

When I watched Chase Young, I saw no Lawrence Taylor or Charles Haley – no killer mentality. Explosive athlete who was not a game-changing force vs Mich or Wis in B10 title game or definitely not vs Clemson. He'll be good but not more valuable than Burrow.
