Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase recently joined Stacking the Box and he was asked to name his top five current NFL players. 

The superstar wide receiver dropped a great list that, unsurprisingly, included himself (as it should). 

But there was a name that Chase didn't included that was a bit surprising. 

Here are Chase's top five current NFL players: 

Joe Burrow 
Ja'Marr Chase
Aaron Donald
Travis Kelce
Patrick Mahomes

"Let's just put my QB (Burrow) up there," started Chase. "Got myself in there. Aaron Donald. I'll take (Travis) Kelce — Kelce's one of the best tight ends in the league and he shows it. Who else? We'll put Pat (Mahomes) in there. We'll juice it up a little." 

Chase was quick to add that he's not giving Mahomes love by putting him in his top five. 

It's hard to argue with Chase's top five, but it's unbelievable that he didn't include his former LSU teammate, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson — especially since Jefferson recently gave Chase some public love.

Jefferson was the No. 2 player on the NFL's top 100 players list. But somehow he couldn't crack Chase's top five. 

I'm sure it was just oversight on Chase's part since he was kind of put on the spot, but I wouldn't be surprised if Jefferson sends him a "what's up with that" text after seeing his former college teammate's top five list.
