Ja'Marr Chase Explains His Dropped Passes At The NFL Level

by Staff Reporter

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

Former LSU wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has had some issues with dropped passes in practice and preseason games with the Cinncinati Bengals.

This week, he explained whats going on. Per SDS:

quote:
“The ball is different because it is bigger,” Chase said. “It doesn’t have the white stripes on the side so you can’t see the ball coming from the tip point so you actually have to look for the strings on the ball at the top, which is hard to see because whole ball is brown and you have the six strings that are white. But for the most part, just have to get used to it and find out what I am comfortable with catching.”

Chase also added that he’s not looking the ball into his hands the way he needs to:

“My drops come from me not looking the ball in. By looking the ball in I’m talking about high-pointing it and watching it and as soon as it hit you looking away,” Chase said. “Me running before the catch. Me doing stuff like that and dropping it. I did that a couple times.”

He should ask Justin how he learned to catch a pro ball

CanebreakCajun•56 months

I know some QBs have issues transitioning from the college to the pro ball. But, I do not think I have ever heard a WR say this.

beantown•56 months

He's trying so hard to not blame the year he took off as the reason why he's struggling.

TaderSalad•56 months

Guess he didnt load pro footballs into the jugs machine in his year off

LSUtigers111•56 months

You'd think he would be practicing with an NFL ball the whole year he took off

jeff70121•56 months

Bingo!

Yeti_Chaser•56 months

Thought he sat out a year so he could get ready for the NFL

CanebreakCajun•56 months

Guess he was using a college ball to train when he opted out. I mean that was the point right? Train for the NFL? One would assume you be would using, you know, things they use in the NFL, like the ball.

DVinBR•56 months

Translation: "I sat out an entire year, so now I'm struggling getting back to the level I was at"

tucoco•56 months

Thew dude looked great at LSU's Pro Day running routes and catching passes I believe. So, what's the deal now?? Nothing, it's just all in his head.

Shiftyplus1•56 months

He sat out so he could get aid early and frick around, knowing no matter what he'd be a top 10 pick. Let's not pretend it was anything else.

SUB•56 months

Was he not practicing with an NFL ball his whole year that he sat out? I highly doubt that.

Cshaw91•56 months

Don’t see Terrace having that issue

tigerterrace•56 months

I have no issues

TheBob•56 months

Here is what he actually said…

haha i never said it was hard to catch. they asked me what the difference was in the ball??. don’t change my words!!!

But by all means continue bashing arguable the best receiver to ever play for LSU

LSUJD_04•56 months

Excuses excuses. Just own up to it and say you screwed up and that you will work hard to correct it. It’s not the ball’s fault.

Mickey Goldmill•56 months

What did you read? He's literally owning up to it and saying he's gotta correct some things. Explaining what you're doing wrong it not always an "excuse."

WhySoSerious•56 months

Jamar will be fine. Why is our fan base so sad

Spelt it rong•56 months

While he's not wrong about the ball being different, I think this is the first time I've ever heard a WR blame the ball for not being caught.

CatfishJohn•56 months

He also blamed himself for not looking it in.

Shooter•56 months

The ball is racist

olgoi khorkhoi•56 months

Wait, did you only catch college balls during your year off to prepare for…the NFL?

tigerterrace•56 months

1. Needs Humidity
2. The ball is different
3. He knew LSU people would be angry

Black n Gold•56 months

I to have the same issue catching NFL balls. I am also not an NFL wide receiver.

stho381•56 months

Damn, you guys are sensitive. He was asked a question and he gave his honest answer about what is happening and what he needs to get more comfortable with. He's not bitching that the ball is too big, he's just stating that it is and he has to get used to it along with looking it in, etc.

Our fans love to crap on our own and we wonder why some kids choose to go elsewhere.

tigerpawl•56 months

The coddling is impressive.

TheWalrus•56 months

Welp guess I should bench him in fantasy

Shiftyplus1•56 months

I still think he has a great year. Maybe not JJ good, but good nonetheless.

Srobi14•56 months

How many passes did he drop?

The Mick•56 months

Every one since joining the Bengals

BlackPot•56 months

No sympathy. Sat out a year and got rusty. No excuses, man up, catch the ball. Justin didn't seen to have that issue. Odell didn't seem to have that issue catching that somebitch with 1 hand rookie season.
