Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
In being named the 2019 CBS Sports Player of the Year, Ohio State's junior defensive end proved himself as the most dominating defensive force in at least 10 years.
In this offensive age, Chase Young struck blows against the empire. And quarterbacks, running backs and offensive linemen.
In being named the 2019 CBS Sports Player of the Year, Ohio State's junior defensive end proved himself as the most dominating defensive force in at least 10 years. The last defender to impact almost every play was Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh.
Young might be better.
With 16.5 sacks, he leads the country despite missing two games due to an NCAA suspension. He did it despite not registering a sack in the final two games of the season vs. Michigan and Wisconsin; the Big Ten foes schemed against him.
Young didn't have to tackle the quarterback to have an impact. Scouts love his get off, the first step that gets him into the backfield as soon as the ball is snapped. Teams had to account for him as Young prowled up and down the line deciding where to set up like a predator. Fitting because his angular stature (6-foot-5, 264 pounds) and dreads have earned him the nickname "The Predator."
Young got his chance to start in Game 4 of the 2018 season after Nick Bosa was injured. Since that point, he has played 20 games and recorded 32.5 tackles for loss. His 29.5 career sacks set the Ohio State record.
Young won't win the Heisman Trophy, but his inclusion as a finalist -- along with his honor here -- shows that offenses can be slowed in this high-scoring age. It just takes a predator.
