Ja'Marr Chase's Potentially Historic Rookie Year Has Bengals Ahead of Schedule

A 21-year-old rookie with one strong college football season under his belt now leads the AFC in receiving yardage, yards per reception and is tied for the conference lead in touchdown receptions.

After catching eight passes for 201 yards and a touchdown in the Cincinnati Bengals' blowout victory over the division-rival Baltimore Ravens in Week 7, it's safe to say that Ja'Marr Chase is running away with the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year award. The LSU product could be the first rookie first-team All-Pro receiver since Randy Moss in 1998, as he's now on pace to shatter Justin Jefferson's single-season rookie record of 1,400 receiving yards.
