‘Ready to Explode’: Washington Commanders’ Chase Young Primed for Career-Best Season, Will He Dominate the NFL in 2025?

The Washington Commanders are looking to make a serious push for the Super Bowl in 2025, and all eyes are on one player in particular—defensive end Chase Young. After battling through injuries in the past, Young is more determined than ever to prove he's the game-changer the Commanders need on defense.

Head coach Ron Rivera has been vocal about Young’s potential, stating, "He's ready to explode this season. His talent is undeniable, and we’re excited to see him fully healthy and hungry for greatness." After a standout rookie year in 2020, where Young was named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, the young pass-rusher's performance has been somewhat limited due to injury concerns, but 2025 could be the year he finally reaches his true potential.

With the Commanders' defense already strong, adding a healthy and motivated Young to the mix could make Washington's front seven one of the most dominant in the NFL. The team’s playoff aspirations hinge on Young’s ability to disrupt offenses and sack quarterbacks.

As training camp heats up, Young’s work ethic and focus have caught the attention of both his coaches and teammates. Many believe the 2025 season could be the breakout year Young has been waiting for, and if that’s the case, the Commanders' defense will be a force to be reckoned with.

Can Chase Young live up to the massive expectations? Will he be the star that leads Washington back to the Super Bowl? Fans are eagerly watching as the 2025 season approaches, and with Young firing on all cylinders, the sky's the limit for the Commanders.
