Former LSU football wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase landed in a dream scenario on draft night.
Chase was selected with the No. 5 overall pick by the Cincinnati Bengals, which will reunite the former Tigers standout with Joe Burrow.
The dynamic wide receiver/quarterback combo helped lead LSU to one of the greatest college football seasons ever in 2019.
Chase, who opted out of the 2020 season, caught 84 passes for 1,780 yards and 20 touchdowns as a sophomore in 2019. At the time, there were plenty of folks (including myself) that believed Chase would’ve been the first wide receiver selected in the 2020 NFL Draft had he been eligible.
