The annual countdown of the ‘NFL Top 100′ players is underway, and players’ responses to their peers are bulletin board material for the new season. The Kansas City Chiefs are expected to have multiple players on the list this year, with the top spot assumed to be going to their star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver appears in a viral clip, giving his option of who the top player is on this year’s list. He makes it well known that he’s refusing to say a particular player’s name due to an ongoing rivalry.

“I’m not saying i give credit when it is due, but I’m not saying his name,” said Chase with a smirk. “I’m sorry, Joe Burrow, I’m not saying that guy’s name. He’s good. He’s amazing, he’s good, not gonna lie. Two years in a row, I’m putting Burrow first.”

The Chiefs and Bengals have met several times over the last few seasons, including a split of two AFC Championship games. The two teams are scheduled to meet at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 2, and this clip could be seen making the rounds well before game day.
