Reunited, and it feels so good.
A year after Ja’Marr Chase won the NCAA National Championship at LSU with Joe Burrow, he was drafted fifth overall by the Cincinnati Bengals, where Burrow was drafted the year before.
Chase has delivered, earning Pro Bowls in all three seasons with 3,717 Yards and 29 Touchdowns. Winning the Offensive Rookie of the Year, Chase is a sight to behold on the gridiron. An excellent route-runner and a contortionist when he needs to be with power despite his smallish size, the Burrow/Chase combo has already been to a Super Bowl and could do so again.
The future remains bright for Ja’Marr Chase.

As of this writing, Germaine Pratt has played the entirety of his five-year career with the Cincinnati Bengals, the team that drafted him from NC State in 2019’s Third Round.
Pratt won the starting Linebacker job midway through his rookie year and emerged as one of their better run defenders. Year by year, Pratt has been increasing his tackling metrics, and last year, he broke out with 118 Tackles.
Entering 2024, Pratt is their secret weapon on defense and is closing in on 500 career Tackles.
Tyler Boyd played his first eight seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, arriving in 2016 as a Second Round Pick from the University of Pittsburgh.
Boyd did not have many touches in his first two years (76 combined receptions) but settled in as a productive WR 2 over his last six years in the jungle. He had over 1,000 Yards in both 2018 and 2019, and over his eight years, he had an even 6,000 Yards with 31 TDs for Cincinnati.
He departed Cincinnati for Tennessee via free agency.
