Chase Young will be the first football brand ambassador for Klutch Athletics, which has partnered with New Balance to launch a new sportswear venture.

“It’s a big opportunity,” he said in a video interview. “Rich Paul is a person who is very close to me and we always [talk] about business… He’s helped me think outside of football and gave me an opportunity that I’m blessed to have and one that doesn’t come around much. I’m excited and ready to take this on.”
