Young’s career has been a rollercoaster, to say the least. The former second overall pick had some rough years with the Washington Commanders. However, he has blossomed with the Saints. He had 10 sacks last year, and already has eight this year. On Thursday, he displayed a ton of confidence when speaking with the media.
“I never felt like somebody could block me. My first year with the Saints, when I was top ten in pressures, I wasn’t landing the sacks, but I was winning. I’m not used to getting blocked. Even when they said I was a bust… I was still winning,” the Saints star said, via New Orleans Football Network.

Young did have some solid seasons despite the overall disappointing nature of his time with the Commanders. As he alluded to, he had a 7.5-sack rookie campaign. However, he went on to have just one sack combined across the next two seasons, with one season being ended by injury.

In parts of three seasons with the Saints, he has 23.5 sacks. He has emerged as a true leader on this defense. And if New Orleans is to have any success this year, Young has ensured that he will be leading the way on the defensive line.
