And he will have to adjust to playing 17 games instead of 12, so we'll see.

Here's basically the write up on WFT:
Washington Football Team
2020 RANKINGS · Points: 4th | Yards: 2nd
I'm obsessed with Chase Young. He was great in Year 1 -- earning Defensive Rookie of the Year honors with 7.5 sacks and a host of splash plays -- but his 2021 campaign is going to be next level. Washington invested first-round picks on the D-line in four straight drafts, and now the Football Team is reaping the benefits, perhaps boasting the best defensive front in football.
So why is the WFT defense only ranked sixth on this list?
Well, the back seven isn't nearly as imposing as the front four. That said, those players will benefit greatly from Young and Co. wrecking games up front. And it's not like the back two levels of the defense are devoid of talent. First-rounder Jamin Davis is an athletic marvel at linebacker, and he's been a trendy pick this offseason for Defensive Rookie of the Year. Seeing safety Landon Collins play in Washington's preseason opener -- just nine months after tearing his Achilles -- was quite encouraging. And you can do much worse than a starting CB duo of William Jackson and Kendall Fuller.
Jamin Davis is still a 1st rounder. It's only fair to have high expectations for him. Think he will always be compared to Parsons and Z Collins who have both impressed. Know he's got the talent.
