Ja'Marr Chase is without a doubt one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. Some would even say he is the best. But recently, he has been proving that he is more than just an NFL superstar.
Although the Bengals WR is adept at catching passes and scoring touchdowns, he is now spreading his wings and proving his worth outside the gridiron.
Recently, it was revealed that Chase is making a big career move. The 26-year-old is teaming up with social media influencer Annie Agar and starting a podcast.
The show, titled "Chasing No.1" is something Chase had joked about starting with his fellow Bengals WR, Tee Higgins. It may not be with his teammate, but Chase is ready to rock and roll, with the first episode set to drop on Wednesday.
Chase has always had quite the personality and Bengals fans have seen that on display on several occasions. From the field to the locker room and now to a podcast studio. This is a great chance for fans to get even more insight into the man that is Ja'Marr Chase.
Ja'Marr Chase gave Bengals fans an injury scare
Much of the Bengals season hinges on the trio of Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins. If either one of them falls, the entire offense could collapse.
This week, Chase gave Bengals fans a scare. During a practice session, the WR landed awkwardly, and seemed to injure his knee. This resulted in him missing the following sessions.
Fortunately, everything turned out alright, with Chase even confirming that he would play a game if he had to. He even suggested that it was "a little hyperextension."
That being said, the Bengals can't be too careful and will be hoping something like this doesn't happen again once the season starts.
