Cincinnati Bengals rookie Ja’Marr Chase has been one of the most highly touted prospects in 2021, but that just means he has farther to fall.
Kristopher Knox at Bleacher Report recently listed players and teams who could fail to live up to offseason expectations and included Chase as one potential “flop” this season.
Considering preseason performances, camp updates, injuries, and other factors, Knox believes Chase will “flop” the same reason Lamar Jackson “flopped” last year. Jackson still took the Ravens to the playoffs in 2020, but after his 2019 MVP season, the fact that Jackson didn’t even get a Pro Bowl nod could be considered a failure.
