NFL rumors: 3 teams that need to trade for Chase Young before it’s too late
By John Buhler
Dan Campbell’s Detroit Lions need to go for broke and win the NFC North, man
Let’s fricking go, man! I know this is a heavily NFC-centric slider, but don’t tell me that it wouldn’t be sweet to see Young playing off Aidan Hutchinson in the Detroit Lions‘ pass rush. This is a team that is expected to make the postseason, as arguably the favorites to win the NFC North. Should this team continue to progress and Jared Goff plays well, I mean, they could play for an NFC title.
As an unbiased observer, I really like what these Brand New Lions are all about. They play incredibly hard, for each other. Campbell is the real-life Ted Lasso, motivating his players to just go out and ball, man. With Campbell being in lockstep with ownership, as well as general manager Brad Holmes, I trust the Lions to make smart moves to improve their football team going forward.
Overall, Young feels like the right rotational pass-rushing piece the Lions could need to get over the top. There could be boom-or-bust potential in such a late offseason transaction, but you have to be bold if you claim to be brave. For whatever reason, I feel like Young would be able to have his best success in a critical season for him in Detroit, outside of putting it all together in Washington.
The Hutchinson-Young pass-rushing duo would be as exciting as it would be fascinating to watch.
