WASHINGTON — When Washington Football star Chase Young orders fast food, he uses Bruce Allen's name.
"I use Bruce when I order Chick-fil-A," said Chase Young.
Yes, the NFL's reigning defensive rookie of the year and 2-time captain uses the former President of The Washington Football Team when ordering a chicken sandwich.
"That's my name on my ticket," Young said. "If they say 'Chase,' when I go up and get it, everyone will be like, that is Chase. So I use Bruce."
Bruce Allen served as the president and general manager of the Washington Football Team for 10 years until he was fired after the 2019 season. Chase says he only uses Bruce's name as a joke to hide his own identity, not to take a shot at the team's former president.
Chase Young also used the former team president's name as a name The Washington Football Team will definitely not use for their new name. When Young was asked which name the team will not use, Young joke saying "Bruce [Allen]".
