ESPN’s Todd McShay loves Heisman finalist and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year Chase Young, saying he’s better than both Bosa brothers. It’s tough to say McShay is wrong here.

Young, the third-year defensive end, won the Chuck Bednarik Award which goes to the college football’s best defensive player. He also won Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year. Yeah, that was a no-brainer.

Young’s resume is loaded with accolades that include setting the school’s single-season sack record at 16.5 sacks so far. That doesn’t even account for the fact that he was suspended for two of Ohio State’s 13 games.

Those are a few of the many reasons why Todd McShay night think he’s better than both Joey and Nick Bosa, two players that have made name for themselves at the professional level.

“He’s better… I would take him No. 1 even if I needed a quarterback.”

The Cincinnati Bengals, with one win, will likely have the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. They need a quarterback, and Joe Burrow will be the obvious choice.

Burrow or Young will be the debate in Cincinnati, and it seems many would favor the franchise quarterback over Young at this point. But not McShay.
