    Chase, Jefferson, Marshall

    241 Receptions
    3,991 Yards
    51 TDs

    In my research, there is no trio in history that comes close to these combined numbers. Especially regarding the 51 TDs.

    Just imagine if Marshall had been healthy all season.

    Our receiving core could be almost as good this year. The keys for Brennan will be throwing an accurate deep ball and hitting our younger guys in space. I’m fully sold that Boutte will see playing time off the bat. Would love to see him catch some slants and just take off.

    Elite. So close to 4,000 yards!

    Marshall, IMO, is better than Jefferson when healthy. He and Chase are going to be a handful.

    True. Marshall has amazing size and jump ball capabilities. I see a lot of fades and deep jump balls coming his way this year.

    JJ was a huge surprise to me as great as he turned out to be. He and Burrow took the same quantum leap.

    Oh for sure. He was awesome. Marshall just has a raw talent and physical side to him. He looks every bit of the 5* he was.

    I hope there's another summer of 10,000 catches... The lack of drops compared to the previous year was astounding...
