Rivera says Chase Young has a chance to be the ‘Darrell Green at his position’

Washington Redskins defensive end Chase Young has been compared to some pretty impressive players in his time, coming up in conversations with the likes of Nick and Joey Bosa, Vonn Miller, and even Julius Peppers. However, Redskins coach Ron Rivera made a comparison on Wednesday that might be a bit more significant for those who are fans of the Redskins.

He compared Young to Darrell Green, arguably the greatest Redskin of all time, playing 20 seasons with the Redskins, winning two Super Bowls, and making it to seven Pro Bowls.

Ron Rivera is holding a Q&A with military families/Redskins fans. Someone asks if Rivera sees another Darrell Green out there. 'We have a pretty good one in Chase Young. As far as being a Darrell Green at his position," he's got a chance.

While it may be a bit flashier for the common NFL fan to hear that Chase will be the next Julius Peppers or Khalil Mack, there likely isn’t a Washington fan out there who doesn’t feel a rush of adrenaline thinking that Young could go down as one of the all-time franchise greats with the Redskins.
