Bengals: Ja'Marr Chase named to NFL's All-Under-25 Team

The Cincinnati Bengals are a juggernaut on offense, and it's due in large part to an abundance of wide receiver weapons.

Ja'Marr Chase, the Bengals' first-round selection in 2021, is the alpha of the group with multiple Pro Bowls plus an All-Pro nod in his first two seasons. 

That level of production wasn't overlooked recently when NFL.com named its All-Under-25 Team as Chase was one of the players who made the list.

Last season was a down year for Chase, based on the standard he set as a rookie in 2021. A 1,046-yard, nine-touchdown season still isn't anything to scoff at, though. He has now reached 1,000 yards in consecutive campaigns. He did it in 2022 while dealing with a nagging hip injury that cost him four games, yet he still led the AFC North-champion Bengals in receptions and receiving yards. I expect him to be among the game's elites for quite some time. –Nick Shook, NFL.com 

Chase has never had a receiving grade under 84.0 or an overall offensive grade below 83.1 since he entered the NFL. Also, he's not just a threat on the outside as he's logged 234 snaps in the slot, making him a very versatile weapon for Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan to utilize. 

It's not just the regular season where Chase shines either.

Chase caught 20 of his 28 targets in last year's playoffs for 220 yards and two touchdowns. In 2021 when the Bengals made a run to the Super Bowl, Chase had multiple 100-yard games and led the Bengals with 368  receiving yards. 

When it comes to naming the best receivers in the NFL, it doesn't take long to get to Chase, and the scary thing part about that is he's only going to get better.
