Chase Young’s honors a result of playing like ‘The Mad Stork’

That’s because Chase Young plays like ‘The Mad Stork’ did decades ago, just a shorter version. At 6 ft. 5 Young is a couple of inches shorter but he is a big athletic playmaker like the guy the Defensive End of the Year Award is named after. And he plays with the same attitude.

I didn’t have the privilege of watching Ted Hendricks play defensive end in college but I enjoyed watching him play linebacker during his long Hall of Fame NFL career. In fact, I became a fan of his when he was a rookie with the Baltimore Colts.
