Watching Ja'Marr Chase just eat up ground on downfield routes is awesome. And somehow it still sneaks up to me how good he is after the catch. Oh and he's strong as hell at the catch point.

Fun prospect.
.@LSUfootball @Real10jayy__ as an 18 year old freshman with polished route running skills. Pick a route; any route and Chase has an advanced degree in running it #GeauxTigers #nfl #nfldraft #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/JGdZ4cpo4g

Not sure I’ve seen a WR so physical in getting himself open. Chase is NOT shy about fighting through contact in every phase of WR play@Real10jayy__ understands the subtleties of beating press coverage and winning in the stem - and an alpha ‘my ball’ mentality at the catch point pic.twitter.com/6DONtRjwb6

RE: Ja’Marr Chase - A.J Brown
— Jordan Reid (@Jordan_Reid) March 8, 2021
Brown is much heavier, but him and Chase win in similar ways. Both can lineup inside or outside. Super strong at the LOS, can play bully ball, physical at the catch point, track the ball like an outfielder, and underrated runners after the catch. https://t.co/iedVo3sxOp
Chase is a beast downfield thanks to his ball-tracking and contested-catch abilities. pic.twitter.com/Gkp0eXo1JA

Was told Oklahoma State WR Tylan Wallace clocked in at 4.39 in the 40 at EXOS pro day. LSU’s Jamarr Chase did bench and position drills, repped 23 on the bench.

Ja'Marr Chase is special because in any statistical category that matters, you'll find him in sitting within the top 3 with elite company.
— Michael Liu (@MiKeMeUpP) March 3, 2021
It isn't one thing that sets him apart. It's that he checks every single box.
His position as WR1 of the 2020 class is clear as day to me.
Ja’Marr Chase was damn near unstoppable in 2019. A reminder. For me and for whoever else needs one. ✌🏾

Let’s revisit the time Ja’Marr Chase beat up a CB who was 3 years older, 5 pounds heavier, and is currently starting in the NFL pic.twitter.com/kpsIQg5FZY

Ja'Marr Chase's entire career in college only lasted 1,157 snaps. If it had been just the 79 snaps of his tape vs Trevon Diggs and then a mic drop he might be a first round player.

Example: 1st play of the game vs Auburn.

Chase is lined up in a tight split at the bottom. pic.twitter.com/p5bbgujmHG
TLDR: He's special, don't overthink it.

You need to go looking to find flaws. That's trying too hard.
But yes, Chase's strengths are his concentration through contact, jump-ball skills, overall strength and running after the catch. Turning routine hitches from 6 yards to 20 yards. pic.twitter.com/GZb6GQwvO2

To conclude, Ja'Marr Chase is special.

Good athlete with ++ speed, has the ball skills and toughness of a number one, produced at a young age in an offense full of first rounders and in the biggest games.
As of today, I have no issue drafting him 5th overall.
