The Washington Redskins made Chase Young the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft last Thursday night.

The team made the star defensive end No. 99 on Wednesday:

Young donned No. 2 at Ohio State, where he became the Buckeyes' all-time single-season sack leader with 16.5 as a junior last year.

Young will be chasing other great defensive ends who wear No. 99, such as Houston Texans three-time Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt and Los Angeles Rams two-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald, as well as Hall of Famers Jason Taylor and Warren Sapp.
