Plenty of NFL fans and analysts were a bit stunned by the Cincinnati Bengals passing on top offensive line prospect Penei Sewell for top wide receiver prospect Ja’Marr Chase. Reports leading up to the draft hinted at Cincinnati favoring the wideout over the blocker, but many still didn’t believe it to be true.
One of the non-believers was former NFL receiver and current Good Morning Football analyst Nate Burleson.
When the Bengals made Chase the first receiver to be taken in the 2021 NFL Draft, Burleson could’ve chosen the easy route and drag the Bengals for passing on the extremely talented Sewell.
