Chase Young said last month that he was excited to play on Thanksgiving because NBA star LeBron James would likely be watching.
It turns out, James was paying attention to Young’s next game, as well.
After Washington’s 23-17 upset win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Lakers superstar tweeted at Young — praising the 21-year-old’s game. Young was a force in Monday’s win, notably wrapping up running back Benny Snell on fourth down cementing a goal line stand in the second quarter.
@youngchase907 Lil bro you’re a SAVAGE!! 😤😤😤 That’s all I wanted. Lol

This is the second this season that James has tweeted at a Washington player. He previously did so when rookie running back Antonio Gibson also shouted out “The King” with a touchdown celebration. Gibson mimicked James’ signature chalk toss.
@AntonioGibson14 I see you throw the 🌪🌪🌪chalk up! Salute and great game!! 🙏🏾👑 https://t.co/byhyTbOhqq
