NFL WR no. 3: Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals

Ja’Marr Chase. 3. player. Pick Analysis. WR. Cincinatti Bengals. 56. Scouting Report

The 2021 rookie class of receivers did not waste time making their mark on the gridiron. While Justin Jefferson torched opposing defenses, the Bengals witnessed similar results from their first-round selection.

Ja’Marr Chase and Joe Burrow carried their collegiate connection to the professional stage – combining for over 1,400 yards in the air last season.

Their journey to Super Bowl LVI will only increase the duo’s confidence as they prepare for the new year.

A repeat performance is the goal for Cincinnati’s No.1 receiver.

His 13 touchdown receptions in 2021 finished third best in the league and should increase in the upcoming season.

While quarterbacks and receivers work on developing their on-field chemistry, Chase and Burrow can rely on their past successes to help their team this season.
