## 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.

**2026 All-Pro candidate:** PFF identifies Young as a first-time All-Pro candidate after his unblockable 2025 campaign (injury-shortened to 10 games). Despite limited availability, Young posted 49 pressures and 35 hurries—an 86.3 PFF pass-rush grade (career-high), and 15.2% pass-rush win rate (79th percentile). PFF notes Young "has the talent to be one of the game's most disruptive pass-rushers" and could take his play "up a further level" on the "ascending" Saints defense. Staying healthy will be the key to unlocking an All-Pro season. (per 10 NFL players who could become first-time All-Pros in 2026)
