The Coronavirus pandemic has caused many to change their plans including Chase Young, who has had to adapt to the situation ahead of this week's NFL Draft. Young made an appearance on CBS Sports HQ and said that his draft party will be limited to only 10 people in the house.

Young knows there are many more family and friends that want to be involved with the draft party, so he plans on setting up a projector on the side of the house so they can watch along from a safe distance.

The good news for friends and family is they shouldn't have to wait long for Young to go off the board. Most believe Young will be selected second overall by the Washington Redskins.
Leading into the draft, most of the buzz around Young has been positive, including comments from his former coach, Urban Meyer. Meyer told JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington that,
“God put together that guy … He said, ‘I’m going to make one of the best defensive ends to ever play college football.’ I think he’s going to carry on in the NFL. He’s got it all.”
Young is a physical freak, but Meyer thinks his mental makeup is just as good. According to Meyer, Young received a 25 out of 25 for his competitive spirit, leadership and adaptability. He added,
“We have criteria … He’s got them all.”
The draft is going to be 100 percent virtual this year for both players and teams. Young's setup might be unique in some years, but it's going to be the norm for most players waiting to get their name called.
