I Gotta Shout Him Out' - Former Triple Crown Winner Steve Smith Praises Cincinnati Bengals Wide Receiver Ja'Marr Chase

The perception of what will happen with the Cincinnati Bengals and star wideouts Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins has taken a dramatic shift in recent weeks. It’s not just fans or even players who are interviewed, either.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp had some nice words ready for Chase after Cincinnati's best playmaker led the NFL in receptions (127), receiving yards (1,708) and touchdowns (17). He's just the sixth player in the Super Bowl era to win the Triple Crown.

The Cincinnati Bengals season is officially over, and it was far from what fans and the organization expected going into the year, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t still some bright spots along the way.

Chase joins Kupp, Steve Smith Sr, Sterling Sharpe, Jerry Rice, and Lance Alworth as the winners from the modern era. Both Rice and Alworth are in the Hall of Fame while Sharpe and Smith Sr have been finalists. Both Kupp and Chase are likely to be finalists at the very least once their careers come to an end.

Ja'Marr Chase became the 6th NFL WR since the Super Bowl era to win the receiving triple crown for the Bengals in 2024.
