For him to set records that young in the SEC is huge, because the kid is nowhere near topped out yet. He's not polished as a route runner, yet, and is winning with his hands and his burst.
You mentioned Jefferson, who had his breakout year as a junior. Chase was better than Jefferson when he was only a sophomore and Jefferson broke the rookie receiving record and was the first rookie All Pro WR in over 30 years.
I think it's easy to look at Chase's height/weight/speed and say guys like him come along every year, but he's a special prospect. He doesn't have the physical freak aspect Pitts does, but he's going to be a top tier NFL WR.
