[Whatever]

What I didn't know was just how humble this guy is, and just how hard he works. I know you don't become elite without it, but so many guys with Ja'Marr's physical gifts rely on them more than the extra work. This dude does both. Plus, it doesn't hurt that he seems like such a great person too. I loved it when his and Joe Burrow's dad smoked victory cigars together after beating KC. These two are like peas and carrots. Hope they remain in Cincinnati until they hang em up.

Sadly, there was plenty of good information out there pre-draft regarding Chase's work ethic and character, but it kind of got lost in the shuffle due to his crazy RAS scores and insane production at such a young age in college.  I would have been ok with Sewell or Pitts if they had been the pick, but Chase was definitely my guy.  Everything indicated that this kid would be an absolute monster.
