Young's Remarkable Year
Young had his best year as a professional, finishing with a career-high 12 sacks while being one of the best pass rushers in the league. Young was selected to his first career Pro Bowl this year and has set himself up for a massive payday this offseason.
Young and fellow Pro Bowler Jared Verse have been a two man recking crew, something Verse predicted earlier in the season.

“I think me and ‘BY’ can both say that we feed off of each other," stated Verse. "When he's doing well, I play even better. When I'm doing well, he plays even better. We just feed off of each other, but to see him elevating to the level that he's capable of is astonishing. I'm not surprised by it, but I'm happy to see that he's getting all of the recognition he finally deserves but we don't think too much about anything. We just go out there, dominate and move on to the next play. You can always be better. I always say, ‘Oh, I rate this or I rated this, that.’ You can always be better in every aspect, but so far I'm pretty pleased with our group.”

Young is the franchise record holder for most consecutive regular-season games with at least half a sack. As a result, Young has been feeling the love of the organization, especially from his coaches.
“It's like what I was talking about with Verse, it's how he affects every single play," stated Rams DC Chris Shula. "He's playing at a really high level. He has the sack numbers but he's playing at a really high level, probably the best he's ever played. On every single play, we ask a lot of him and he steps up to it every single time. That group's ascending as a whole and he's right there at the forefront of it.”
