During the Redskins’ Offseason Update Live Show, head coach Ron Rivera talked about the Redskins first draft pick of the RivEra, 2020 second-overall draft pick DE Chase Young. Coach Rivera referred to Chase Young a “mini version” of Julius Peppers and went on to compare him to Von Miller.
Both Peppers and Miller were also selected No. 2 overall before going on to win the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year. This is high praise from the new head coach, but does it place unfair pressure on the 21-year-old rookie from Ohio State?
