I have no doubt Burrow worked on it after being pretty poor at the deep ball in 2020, but Chase going out there Mossing guys and making great adjustments/catches is always going to make me wonder how much of Burrow's deep ball improvement is just Chase being really really good at football.
That's not a knock on Burrow, it just makes me think of when Tom Brady was throwing to Randy Moss and suddenly Brady went from 10, 9, 8 passes of 40+ yards in '04-'06 to 15 in 2007 when he got Moss, while leading the league in both Completion % and YPA (...and Burrow in 2021 had 15 passes of 40+ yards while leading the league in Completion % and YPA). It's just too damn similar for my mind to dismiss. (Though Randy Moss was 9 of those 15, while Chase was *merely* 8 of the 15. Lol)
