NFC East quarterbacks may want to look away now.

Defensive end Chase Young, who Washington selected with the No. 2 overall pick of Thursday's NFL draft, said he may not be done growing even though he is 6'5" and 21 years old.

"It's a possibility I could grow late," Young told reporters Monday. "A lot of people told me my growth plates, there's still some room. It won't affect my game. It's something I'll adapt to, staying flexible. If you're tall, you've got to be a lot more flexible.
