Chase literally skipped an entire year and was drafted in the top 5.

Former LSU wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, a projected first-round pick in the NFL draft, revealed Thursday he had COVID-19 and had trouble breathing, which led to his decision to opt out of the 2020-21 college football season.

In an interview with NFL Network's Jane Slater, Chase said he needed asthma pumps while dealing with the virus.

"That's what really made me think about my decision the most, 'cause I couldn't breathe as much and I was even using asthma pumps, and I haven't had asthma since I was a kid.

"I'm just trying to look at my health in the long experience and make sure I'm in good health," Chase told Slater.

He didn't sit out for anything that could be perceived as a "character issue", and he did all the things leading up to the draft to get ready.

And for the record, I never claimed this was going to hurt his draft stock. He's going to go top 5 at least. Just peculiar decisions from the outside.

Also, Howard Blazer tweeted this today:

Confirmed that Marvin Harrison Jr. told Cardinals of his plan not to work out at his Pro Day unless the team said they wanted to see something or wanted him to. They were fine with him continuing to work out at Ohio State to prepare for football rather than drills/timing.
