Ja’Marr Chase is one of the best receivers in the NFL today. After getting drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals, Chase put on a show for the team. In his rookie year, he won multiple accolades, winning the likes of Offensive Rookie of the Year, was named to the Pro Bowl, and was also named to the All-Pro team.
Many naysayers were against the Bengals drafting Chase since many thought the team lacked talent in the offensive line spot. That was the Bengals' biggest need going into the 2021 NFL season. Before the 2021 season, Burrow was sacked 32 times before tearing his ACL in week 11 which resulted in him being out for the season. Penei Sewell was the obvious choice for the Bengals but they instead picked Chase.
Chase previously was LSU’s receiver and was one of the best receivers in the 2021 NFL draft. He was also connected to Burrow during their time in LSU and this led to the Bengals choosing Chase over Sewell. In the 2021 season, Chase had 13 receiving touchdowns, 1455 receiving yards, and 63.3 catch percentage.
Chase has only played three seasons in the NFL but has already established himself as one of the top dogs in the league. He is deadly after making the catch and can outrun or outjump his defenders. Chase is one of the biggest threats in the Red Zone area and can make some of the most difficult catches.
Ever since getting drafted, Chase has won multiple accolades already in his young career. He won the Offensive Rookie of the Year award and was the first rookie since 2014 to win the OPOY award.
While the Joe Burrow injury hurts the Bengals’ playoff chances, Chase has been making history in his absence. Chase is now tied with A.J Green for the most receiving touchdowns in the first three years of the Bengals’ history with 29. If he continues his stellar play, he could become one of the greatest receivers to ever play the game. It would also quiet down the crowd who were against the Bengals’ drafting Chase.
Who is Ja’Marr Chase’s girlfriend?
Chase is not officially dating anyone as of December of 2023 but has been rumored to be dating Jalyn Michelle who is a social media influencer. However, it is just a speculation and has not been confirmed by either Chase or Michelle.
Previously, Chase was dating Instagram model Ambar Nicole. He recently caught a lot of flak regarding a post made by his ex-girlfriend on her Instagram. Nicole called Chase an “abuser,” and claimed that she had evidence that would “end his career.”
She wrote “Get this abuser Ja’Marr out of the league. I’m tired of this abuser and deadbeat abusing and threatening me. Calling your own child a ***** and having your mom threatening to come to my house. You cannot call yourself a man. You are in fact a horrible person.” It was however deleted soon after.
