COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Former Ohio State football star Chase Young is already making big-time connections ahead of his early NFL Draft selection.

Gibson Performance Training posted a video clip on social media Friday of Young working out under the watch of Arnold Schwarzenegger. The gym is located in Capitol Heights, Maryland — Young’s home state.

The star of The Terminator and True Lies and former Governor of California was a world champion bodybuilder prior to his acting career. He gives Young a thumb’s up for his form at the beginning of the clip and a congratulatory smack on the back at the end.

Young was a Heisman Trophy finalist after recording an Ohio State single-season record 16.5 sacks last season. He won the Nagurski and Bednarik Awards as the nation’s top defensive player.

Most mock drafts currently have Young as the No. 2 selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, behind only LSU’s Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Joe Burrow.
