The 24-year old Young also drew interest as a free agent from the Carolina Panthers and Tennessee Titans. He visited Carolina but the Panthers signed multiple defensive ends afterwards.
Young, the former No. 2 overall pick by Washington, shined as a rookie and won NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. In his second season, the Ohio State product suffered a torn ACL. The Commanders eventually declined his fifth year option and traded him mid-season in 2023 to the 49ers. He flashed his talent for San Francisco, collecting 2.5 sacks in seven games before helping the 49ers reach the Super Bowl.
