Ja'Marr Chase is an American professional football wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League. He first gained prominence during his college career at LSU, where he won the Fred Biletnikoff Award and a national championship in 2020. His professional career began when he was selected fifth overall in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Bengals.
Chase is notable for his immediate and record-setting impact in the NFL. He was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and earned second-team All-Pro honors after breaking the rookie record for single-game receiving yards. His performance was instrumental in helping the Bengals reach Super Bowl LVI that season. More recently, in 2024, he achieved the rare feat of winning the receiving triple crown by leading the league in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns.
He has been in the news recently due to an on-field incident during a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. According to reports from November 2025, Steelers player Jalen Ramsey alleged that Chase spat on him, which preceded a physical altercation and Chase's ejection from the game. This event was widely covered in sports media and drew public comments from other players involved. The incident occurred during a game where the Bengals' offense, including Chase, was reported to have struggled significantly.
