Bengals star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase was interviewed by Sports Illustrated‘s Robin Lundberg on Tuesday morning to discuss a wide range of topics, including Chase’s list of the best wide receivers to ever play the game.

Towards the end of the interview, Chase revealed his Mount Rushmore of wide receivers, and the list didn’t disappoint.

“Alright, Imma do Calvin Johnson,” Chase began. “I gotta get Antonio Brown in there … I’d probably throw Cooper Kupp in there. I’d throw Kupp in there, gotta throw Kupp in there with the triple crown, and Jerry Rice of course.”

When Lundberg asked why Randy Moss and Terrell Owens didn’t make the list, Chase had a good response.

“I’m not knockin’ ’em,” Chase said. “I’d add Ocho [Chad Johnson] in there too if I could.”

Chase has quickly become one of the top receivers in the NFL over his first two years in the league. In 29 games, Chase has caught 168 passes for 2,501 yards and 22 touchdowns while averaging 14.9 yards per reception.

Chase played in just 12 games last season due to injury, but is back fully healthy as the Bengals look to make a run at another Super Bowl appearance after falling to the Rams two seasons ago.
