2 days till the #NFLDraft so I’m going to do 2 Days of Chase Young’s film for my daily #KroenickFilm Breakdown. Yesterday, I did his game vs Michigan State.

Chase Young (Ohio State 12-0) vs #8 Wisconsin(10-2)

#NFLDraft #ChaseYoung #Film #CY2DC #HTTR

Love this rep from @youngchase907, he successfully anchors the LOS by using his length to stand up the blocker THEN fights through another block to help stop the reverse. He’s the complete package folks. That doesn’t mean he’s perfect but he’s EXCELLENT. #KroenickFilm

Nothing really happens here but I wanted to show this video to prove a point. For weeks I’ve been saying Chase Young disrupts GAMEPLANS, not just plays. It’s 3rd and 21 so Wisconsin throws a quick slant? Doing a long step back allows #2 time to get home. #KroenickFilm

Look at the speed of his burst off the LOS, he’s off in a blink of an eye. Note his hands, even tho he has body positioning he continues to use his hands throughout so the blocker cannot get a good grip on him. #KroenickFilm

CY commands 3 blockers on this play.... 3! Granted 1 of them is the guard who’s supposed to spy the LOS for delayed blitzers but you get the point. He impacts every facet of the offense. FEAR. #KroenickFilm

For a guy that everyone loves and is considered the best, you have to admire his love for the game. Most guys would just keep walking or not pay attention but CY looks for ways to impact the play. Here he fights to rip the ball out simply because the RB had a 1st. #KroenickFilm

Chase nearly blows up the screen play because of his speed out of his stance and his hand usage. Notice how quick he is “around the edge” of the tackle. Bends well for somebody his size. Javon Kearse comes to mind. #KroenickFilm

Here Chase is a tad late to disengage the blocker, this leads to the RB having a step on Young to the outside. Nonetheless, it was a minor gain leading to my overall point. Dude impacts everything. #KroenickFilm

Here we get a glimpse of how @coachdelrio and @RiverboatRonHC might use CY next season. He’s standing up over the center and rushes into what looks like a wall. A lot of blockers dedicated over there. Merely hinting at what we could see next season. #KroenickFilm

Here we get to see how CY impacts the run game when it’s directly at him. Note it looks like he’s getting moved but he’s doing a great job anchoring the LOS. Not losing depth so the RB can’t get upfield. The play ends at his feet. #KroenickFilm

Now imagine at the next level on Sunday’s, Young being on the field commanding a double team with the LT & TE. Already limiting the offenses options in the passing game. Simply showing how his presence is known. #KroenickFilm

Love Young’s pass rush on this rep, lines up and fires low at the guard. Fakes a step to his inside then goes outside with a rip move. You have to be impressed with his mind as much as you do his athletic ability. Love his game. #HTTR #KroenickFilm

On this rep we can see how Chase impacts a zone run going to his opposite side. Fires low and gets some penetration, Young makes sure he keeps his body north/south so the blocker can’t grab his body. Leaving him able to stop any cutback. #KroenickFilm

The LT gets the best of Young on this rep, does a good job of majoring outside leverage on Young. Leaving him with nothing but a bull rush that doesn’t do much. His hands are lethal! #KroenickFilm

Young does a great job of turning the RB upfield and into the gut of the defense on this rep. Young I’m sure would tell you he’s gotta keep his inside shoulder clean so he can make a play on the RB turning upfield. Big gain. #KroenickFilm

Young gets the best of the LT on this rep. Engages the blocker then uses his weight/momentum to swim over the LT nearly getting him the sack. #KroenickFilm

The LT is supposed to block Chase on this play and move him down the LOS. That doesn’t happen bcuz Young launches out of his stance and throws the LTs hands down. This leads to the RB running upfield immediately. #KroenickFilm

Great job by Young to Anchor the LOS by standing up the blocker in his place, not giving an inch of depth to the blocker. #Kroenick

Here young moves down the LOS and turns his body north/south, doesn’t use his hands and never gains control. Leaving his backside wide open for the RB to run through. #KroenickFilm

Here Young gets chipped initially but continues to look for the QB, his instincts were correct but lead him to be blocked out of the play. I like where his eyes and head is at. #KroenickFilm #HTTR

Young lines up vs the LT, top of the screen.

Again, I love to show Young’s ambition on the football field. Always looking for work. Engages the blocker but pushs off of him giving him open space at the LOS 2 navigate. Then he gangs up on the RB to stop them on 3rd. #KroenickFilm

This right here is why @youngchase907 is so valuable late in games especially. When the offense has to throw Chase can pin his ears back and go get the QB. He stops a 1st down throw by bending the edge and hitting the LTs hands down. #KroenickFilm

It’s 3rd and 2 with only 2:46 left in the Big10 Ship and you’re up by 13 points. You probably chill a lil bit right? Not Chase, he trails the LOS under the blocker and wallops the RB in backfield to force a 4th down. Well done sir! #KroenickFilm

So here’s the 4th and 2 that @youngchase907 forced upon the offense. They run a fake dive right with a toss left, which leaves Young uncovered. He stays home and doesn’t follow the blockers. Shows his athletic ability of hip turn catching up to the RB in the flat. #NFLDraft #NFL

Hope you enjoyed watching my thread!

Can’t wait for you to join your friends here in DC @youngchase907

I like to quote @BaldyNFL, “He’s going to be a problem.”
