Chase Young focused on maintaining momentum with Saints in 2026

Chase Young begins the 2026 season with the New Orleans Saints after a strong performance in 2025, where he recorded 10.0 sacks following an injury-return. Young's previous year showed significant improvement, demonstrating a high pressure rate despite a less effective defensive line. The Saints continue to emphasize the importance of Young's health and the need for additional threats on the defensive line to maximize his effectiveness. Young will strive to replicate his previous success under Brandon Staley's system.
