Redskins officially select Ohio State edge rusher Chase Young

With the No. 2 overall pick, the Washington Redskins were always going to be in a position to select one of the top talents in the 2020 NFL Draft. And with the one team ahead of them being the Cincinnati Bengals, a likely quarterback lock, the door was always open for Washington to walk away with the best overall player.

In the 2020 NFL Draft, that happened to be Chase Young, and when it came time to select at No. 2, the Redskins didn’t overthink it. They went with the best overall player. And now, Chase Young is a member of the Washington Redskins.
