Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase’s seven-catch, 75-yard, and two-touchdown performances in last Sunday Night’s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers landed him heavy praise from one the NFL’s best defensive backs.
Chargers safety Derwin James, a two-time First-Team All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowler, shared a moment with Chase postgame telling him he was “the best in the world.”
"Best in the world. I don't give a f*** what nobody say. Best in the world."

The praise from James should come as a massive compliment.
James, who is in his seventh NFL season, has had to match up head-to-head with Travis Kelce twice a year and has faced just about every superstar wide receiver the NFL has had to offer since he was drafted by the Chargers in 2018.
To say Chase is the best of them all is quite the compliment, but unfortunately for Chase, the praise came after yet another gut-wrenching loss, as the Bengals dropped to 4-7 on the season and likely saw their playoff hopes die.
