The Cincinnati Bengals selected Ja’Marr Chase with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and they did so to take their offense to the next level. Passing on a tackle in the first round was a risky decision but the Bengals believed that by adding Chase to their offense, they’ll be able to give Joe Burrow his favorite weapon from his LSU days and the Cincinnati offense will be electric.

Chase was sensational at LSU and the numbers he put up in 2019 with Burrow as his quarterback were a testament as to what he could do at the professional level.
