The New Orleans Saints have acquired multi award winning defensive end Chase Young on a one-year contract and eight-time Pro Bowl veteran defensive end Cameron Jordan believes that this acquisition would be great for the Saints.
Jordan, during his appearance on “NFL Total Access”, mentioned, as per the NFL Network, “I think Chase Young is going to be great for our defense. We already got Carl Granderson, who’s stellar these last couple of years. I think with growth him being on the opposite side when he gets the right health, physically. He’s going to be another piece we can add on.”
He further continued, “At some point in my mind, I’m spinning like it’s going to be me, Chase and Carl Granderson on the field at the same time on a crucial third down and I’m probably going to have to go in the middle. I don’t care. Whatever it takes. I’ll line up and be that Za’Darius Smith over the middle roaming and trying to get active. I think it adds another weapon to our defense.”
Young was picked up by the Washington Commanders in the 2020 NFL Draft in the first round as the second pick. Last year, he was traded to the San Francisco 49ers and in free agency, he signed with the Saints. In 2020, he was the league’s Defensive Rookie of the Year. The Pro Bowl also underwent neck surgery and is “expected” to be ready for the next NFL season.
