The Ja'Marr Chase Thread

The other area he has not impressed me with is on contested catches. He waits for the ball to come to him and does not high point it. Higgins TD catch last week was a great example of going up for the ball. Chase is usually past his man, but when the DB is close enough to get a hand on it -- Chase does not go up and get it blocking out the DB. That was Aj's greatest attribute. Dalton underthrew him every deep pass but AJ went and got it. Chase can't lump like AJ or has his height but he needs to go get the ball. His contested catch rate is terrible

Ja'Marr Chase's vertical was 5.5 inches higher than AJ Green's. He can definitely get up there. Higgins and Green are quite a bit taller than Ja'Marr though. Chase had a 41... That's one inch lower than Dominique Wilkins... Two less than Vince Carter.
