Mike Greenberg asked ESPN NFL analysts Wednesday on Get Up which receiver will be among the National Football League's five best at this time next year. And Greenberg himself offered Ja'Marr Chase - the Bengals' first-round draft pick earlier this year - as his selection.
"(ESPN analyst Mike Tannenbaum) took Justin Jefferson (as his pick). He was the second-best player on his own college team a couple of years ago, behind Ja'Marr Chase," Greenberg said. "The rookie, who that year - at the age of 19 - playing with (Bengals quarterback) Joe Burrow - who will be his quarterback in Cincinnati - became the only college receiver ever with 20 touchdowns and 20 yards per catch in any season.
