Steve Young Compares Ja'Marr Chase to Former NFL Great Steve Smith

More praise for the 21-year-old rookie.

CINCINNATI — Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has more receiving yards (754) in his first seven games than any other player in NFL history. 

Chase has Randy Moss "in awe." He's received plenty of praise from his coaches and teammates. 

Legendary quarterback Steve Young offered up a comparison of his own on Monday night. 

"A faster, stronger Steve Smith," Young said. "I thought Steve Smith in his prime was uncoverable because of his size and speed and his strength and his body."

Smith topped the 1,000-yard mark eight times in his career. He finished with 14,731 receiving yards, despite playing with some questionable quarterbacks. If Chase is a bigger, faster version of Smith, then he can become one of the best wide-outs in the history of the NFL.
