Chase Young is the fourth Buckeye in five years to win the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award from the Pro Football Writers of America.
Young was named by the PFWA as the 2020 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year on Tuesday, continuing a trend of former Ohio State players winning the award that started with Joey Bosa in 2016 and continued with Marshon Lattimore in 2017 and Nick Bosa in 2019.
The No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft, Young became an immediate star in his first season with the Washington Football Team, starting 15 games and recording 44 total tackles, 12.
