Talk:Chase Young

Birth place
A better citation for birthplace is needed. The source only says, "Young, from Upper Marlboro, Md.," not that he was born there. The current text is,
 * Chase Young was born in Upper Marlboro, Maryland on April 14, 1999.

 * The NFL.com bio in the infobox says he was born in Upper Marlboro as well.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  22:26, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I added another source, since we should be using published sources over bio/school pages when possible. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 23:34, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, I accidentally made my change over yours, though I notice that yours says, "He grew up in Upper Marlboro," which is also not the same as saying where he was born. -- Pemilligan (talk) 23:49, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * , I replaced it with an article that directly states "born", although this is really just an issue of semantics. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 23:58, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

WCAC Championship
The article states that Young won the 2016 state championship with DeMatha. However, DeMatha does not compete for state championships but instead won the WCAC championship in 2016. Both cited sources are incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14F:4401:19A0:60A4:AC9D:F0BA:8DDF (talk) 20:43, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Then back it up with a correct source. Everybody can whine about problems, but until they have solutions, they don't get fixed.  Willsome 4 29  (say hey or see my edits!) 20:53, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Here's a link to the DeMatha page saying they play in the WCAC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeMatha_Catholic_High_School and here's a link to the WCAC page saying that DeMatha won in 2016: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Catholic_Athletic_Conference. And this is a link to DeMatha's website saying they won the WCAC title in 2016: https://www.dematha.org/athletics/teams/team-page/~athletics-team-id/300 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14F:4401:19A0:1C9B:A156:E7BA:5C21 (talk) 23:31, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Per WP:CIRCULAR, you cannot cite Wikipedia in other pages. Plus, I navigated to the DeMatha page provided and it says nothing about a WCAC title in 2016. In fact, it makes no mention of the WCAC at all. If you could provide an article that says that DeMatha does not compete for state championships but rather specifically the WCAC championship, preferably in the context of the '16 championship, that would be great. Thank you.  Willsome 4 29  (say hey or see my edits!) 01:27, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Here's a link to WaPo's 2016 DeMatha football page showing that they only played for the WCAC title: https://www.washingtonpost.com/allmetsports/2016-fall/dematha/football/ and here is the WaPo article about winning the 2016 title: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/highschools/dematha-rallies-late-to-stun-st-johns-for-fourth-straight-wcac-title/2016/11/19/058d6064-ae21-11e6-977a-1030f822fc35_story.html. Here's a WaPo article laying out the MPSSAA 4A, 3A, 2A, and 1A state championship matchups in Maryland for 2016, it does not include DeMatha: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/recruiting-insider/wp/2016/11/27/american-athletic-conference-football-championship-pushes-back-maryland-state-title-games/. Here's an article saying St Francis won the MIAA A Conference in 2016: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/magazine/wp/2019/01/28/feature/baltimores-st-frances-academy-has-a-football-team-so-good-no-one-in-its-league-will-play-it/. Here's an article saying who was the 2016 MIAA B Conference and C Conference champions (Pallotti and St John's Catholic Prep, respectively): https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/highschools/pallotti-caps-a-breakthrough-season-with-the-miaa-c-conference-football-championship/2016/11/14/78f6bc84-aa7b-11e6-a31b-4b6397e625d0_story.html. That is all the Maryland state championships in 2016. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14F:4401:19A0:28AC:C73E:A33C:EEFA (talk) 14:47, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Player Traded
He's been traded to SF 192.231.0.23 (talk) 18:48, 31 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Okay I just put in the information about him being traded and what for why is the 2024 nfl draft a template there is a page Eddie1666666 (talk) 19:52, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually no, since the trade is unofficial at this time. Feel free to add once it is official, but not for now. Tails   Wx  20:12, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The trade is official now. Alielmi1207 (talk) 22:53, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Player Number
Why was the player number removed? Alielmi1207 (talk) 00:07, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Maybe they don't know if he's wearing #99 with the 49ers. If he is, it can be put back. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:31, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 * UPDATE - Young should be getting a new number soon. Javon Kinlaw currently wears #99 for the 49ers. Bringingthewood (talk) 06:35, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It is #92. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:03, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Career high in sacks explained
Regarding the career statistics chart, the reason Young's sack totals are in bold for 2023, is because he accumulated 7.5 sacks while playing for two teams. He had 5.0 with Washington and 2.5 with San Francisco. That's the only way to credit him for tying his 2020 total. No bold --- no credit. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:47, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
