For top-five pick Ja’Marr Chase, the transition to the NFL may not have been as easy as he had hoped.
Without even stepping foot onto the field in a real game yet, training camp has already given him a glimpse of how difficult it’ll be getting back into the swing of things, especially after he didn’t play at all in 2020.
“I would say the only difficult thing was my quickness. Not as in quickness like with athletic ability, but mind quickness, reaction time quickness,” Chase told The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr.
Chase went on to have a great practice with ESPN’s Ben Baby outlining a positive from the day relating to the rookie who seems to be better picking up the speed of the NFL each day of practice.
