2026 Outlook
Chase Young anchors the Saints' pass rush entering 2026. Young had a strong late-season run in 2025, registering at least a half-sack in each of the final three games against the Panthers (Week 15), Jets (Week 16), and Titans (Week 17), tallying 2.5 sacks and nine pressures during that stretch. Young's ability to impact games late has proven pivotal for New Orleans' defensive success. Heading into 2026, the Saints' pass rush is positioned to improve further, with Young expected to have a major role in creating sacks and pressuring opposing quarterbacks, particularly in obvious passing situations.
