Bengals still getting little respect

At the risk of sounding like my least favorite politician, this media bias is really out of control.

In what universe is Ja’Marr Chase only the fifth-best rookie in the NFL this year? Are you kidding me?

Jeff Legwold, an ESPN Senior Writer, dropped the latest bomb when he decided that linebacker/defensive end Micah Parsons of the Dallas Cowboys, New England quarterback Mac Jones, Los Angeles Chargers offensive tackle Rashawn Slater, and center Creed Humphrey of the Kansas City Chiefs were better than Chase.

Of course, Legwold tried to deflect some of the blame for the picks by claiming that he “polled personnel executives around the league to get their thoughts” on the list.
