Why Chase Young is turning heads at Saints training camp

Dennis Allen and the New Orleans Saints were rightfully concerned about Chase Young entering the offseason. The defensive menace had just come off a neck injury which usually prevents players from popping off and taking guys down. This certainly does not seem to be the case as the season looms.
Chase Young is getting a lot of hype after his Saints training camp performances. He would stall the offense and suck the momentum out of their signal caller’s plans just a few months after having surgery. Dennis Allen absolutely loved this and noted how much progress the edge rusher has made, via Kevin Patra of the NFL.
"I haven't seen any limitations at all out of him, other than it's really kind of been a while since he's really been playing real football. Just trying to get his football legs up under him a little bit, and I like the progress. I would say he's exceeded my expectations to this point, just in terms of, I didn't really know the player. I knew of him coming out of Ohio State, the talent that he was, and saw him play in our league. But I didn't really know him personally,” the Saints head honcho said.
What Allen likes the most is the work ethic that Young brings in to the Saints training camp. He outlined hardworking this defensive specialist was.
"Just the way that he's gone about his business, the way that he has come to work every day – he's done everything we've asked him to do, the way we've asked him to do it, never has there been any sort of kickback on anything. I've been really pleased with that part of it. And I think as you watch practice, I think you can feel it when he's out there,” he declared.
Will Young be the X-factor that the Saints need to get back into postseason contention?
