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.
