Chase Young has vowed that the San Francisco 49ers defense will show an improved effort on Sunday when they take on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 58.
Young was a key acquisition this year for the 49ers but was one of a handful of San Francisco defenders who looked to be giving less than 100% on tape in the team’s first two playoff games. The 49ers may be the Super Bowl odds favorites, but it will take a determined effort to slow down the Kansas City offense.

Chase Young Super Bowl prop pick
To record a sack (+235)
A former Ohio State Buckeyes standout, Chase Young quickly proved he could be an important contributor to an NFL defense with the Washington Commanders. Midway through his fourth season, he was traded to the San Francisco 49ers and has been just as impactful on what was already one of the top defensive units in the league.
Young has totaled 7.5 sacks and 25 total tackles this season. While he only played nine games for the 49ers, he still recorded 2.5 sacks in the time, ranking seventh on the team for the year. And while Young has yet to record a sack in the postseason, he has made five solo tackles.
Still, the story of the postseason for the 49ers defense has been a lack of effort. Young found himself at the center of this firestorm, and addressed it during his early week chats with the media ahead of the Super Bowl.
“We know we have to do better,” Young told reporters. "We can’t have that. I can’t have that.”
Young will have to work alongside Nick Bosa and others to get pressure on Patrick Mahomes. While San Francisco may be the favorite in this game, that’s contingent on the 49ers doing more to slow the Kansas City Chiefs than they have to their other opponents this offseason.
Young is +235 to record a sack in the Super Bowl. That might not seem like enough, but it’s important to remember that Young only needs to record a half-sack to satisfy the prop bet. Young has gotten on the board with at least a half-sack in four of his nine games with the 49ers, and in eight of his 15 games overall this season.
