Ja’Marr Chase Names His Mount Rushmore Of NFL WRs
With training camps and the NFL preseason well underway for all 32 teams in the league, a lot of star players are starting to get interviewed after a long offseason and being asked questions about the upcoming 2023 campaign as well as their thoughts on hot debate topics.
The wide receiver position in the NFL right now is arguably as talented as we’ve ever seen, with a lot of superstars emerging across the league over the last few years.
One of those stars that has emerged over the past few years is Ja’Marr Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals, who has quickly become the favorite target of superstar quarterback Joe Burrow once again as they have reignited their chemistry from their days playing together at LSU.
Chase is the latest superstar receiver in the NFL to get asked about his Mount Rushmore of wide receivers, and he went with three superstars of the past and one of the present, according to Sports Illustrated via Dov Kleiman.

With only four selections, Chase made some interesting decisions, as he went with Detroit Lions legend Calvin Johnson to start with, who was incredible during his prime, but had his career cut short by choice due to no longer wanting to battle through injuries.
Antonio Brown, who has become known more his off-the-field antics than anything achieved on it, is an interesting choice, as he was once considered in the elite class of wide receivers.
Los Angeles Rams superstar Cooper Kupp is a solid pick, as Chase clearly admires his peer, who has set the league ablaze since making it big in the City of Angels.
Finally, Chase went with the obvious choice of San Francisco 49ers legend Jerry Rice, which is a no-brainer.
