How good was Cincinnati Bengals wideout Ja’Marr Chase last year?
Besides the obvious as a Randy Moss-level debut performer, Chase linked up with Joe Burrow for eight touchdowns of 20-plus yards.
As Pro Football Focus pointed out on social media, that was more than 25 teams all season.
On his way to leading the Bengals in receiving with 1,455 yards and 13 touchdowns (18.0 per-catch average), Chase racked up 22 catches of 20-plus yards.
Eight of those went for touchdowns, including some of the season’s most memorable plays against teams like the Ravens and Chiefs.
It’s not like teams adjusted and shut this down as the season went on, either Late in the regular season against the Chiefs, Chase took a pass 69 yards for a score, another 18 yards for a score and another 72 yards for a score.
This one stat just goes to show how many different angles there are to the impressiveness of Chase’s debut. And after his team made a slew of upgrades to the offensive line before the draft, fans are right to hope he can have at least a repeat performance next season.
