Zac Taylor Praises Ja’Marr Chase, Explains Limited Participation During Bengals Minicamp.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase was present at the mandatory minicamp this week but didn’t take part in individual or team drills. Head coach Zac Taylor addressed the situation, noting that while Chase attended the workouts and walkthroughs, he did not participate in the 7-on-7 team periods.
“It was good to get him back in here. He’s in great shape,” Taylor said. “He had his process he went through with Joey Boese. When someone’s not been here you don’t want to rush them into things, but he clearly has done a great job this offseason.
Really happy to get him back in the building. He was in all the meetings, did all the walkthroughs and all that stuff and then did a great job mentoring some of the other players as he was out there during practice.
So I thought we got what we needed out of him and was appreciative of him of even though it is mandatory, I mean you see there’s still guys that aren’t always there and he showed up and did everything that we talked about him doing.”
Chase has amassed 268 catches for 3,717 yards and 29 touchdowns over three seasons. With two years remaining on his current contract, he is now eligible for a contract extension.
