Quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase were an electric duo at LSU during the 2019 season. It was such a standout showing that it got Burrow drafted with the first pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, and Chase was able to sit out of college ball last year and still get selected fifth overall, just the second non-quarterback taken behind tight end Kyle Pitts.
Of course they weren’t alone down South, blowing things up two years ago, but there’s a reason that both of them were top-five selections. And there’s a reason that both of them ended up reuniting as members of the Cincinnati Bengals over the course of the past two draft classes.
