Former San Francisco 49ers defensive end Chase Young believes the best is yet to come after he signed for the New Orleans Saints.
The 49ers traded for the former number two overall draft pick in November, hoping that the former Washington Commanders star would be the missing piece of a Super Bowl-winning puzzle.
Young registered 2.5 sacks during his nine games with the Niners as the franchise was pipped to the Vince Lombardi Trophy by the Kansas City Chiefs last month.
After hitting free agency last week, Young has now signed a one-year deal in New Orleans and believes he has plenty more to give as he prepares for his fifth season in the NFL.
"I feel like in every area of my game, I can grow," Young told the Saints website. "I'm still a young player in this game, and I'm just still in that journey to be the best player I can be.
“My goal is just go be the best Chase Young I can be. I definitely plan to add a good piece to be a part of this defense."
He also admitted that injuries played a significant part in what was something of a disappointing 2023 campaign.
"Injuries definitely hindered a few things, but it's all good. It's all about a process, all about the journey. I know what I can do. I'm a man of God, He's still giving me opportunities to prove it. So, I'm here."
