What about the tweet he sent out about opting out that didn't mention anything about covid? If he had said he had COVID issues no one would have blinked for him opting out


Maybe some people don't like to share EVERYTHING all the time. He told the coaches and the team, and revealed the reason to everyone when his family felt it was right.

I know it's human nature to never believe anything that puts people in a good light, but I have to reason to not believe his story about what happened other than wanting to be cynical.

“Sources said Chase's decision is not specifically related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Rather, it is believed agents may have simply convinced Chase to leave before his third collegiate season. NFL rules state a player cannot be drafted until three years after his high school graduation.”


quote:

Ja'Marr Chase's father, Jimmy Chase, told Baton Rouge TV station WAFB that the pandemic, coupled with nationwide outrage and protests in regard to social inequality and racial injustice, led the Chase family to make a decision regarding the receiver's future.

“Ja’Marr has been wrestling with his feelings and his emotions, and it was just nonstop,” Jimmy Chase said. “It’s just such unprecedented times right now. He was wrestling with playing, but he was (also) wrestling with looking at his future, and what could and couldn’t be.”

Again, he could have just said Covid. But he didn't say that. It wouldn't have been 10000 topics on the rant if he had said he was having real problems with Covid. He never told anyone that until literally the week of the draft. And why would he tell them the week of the draft? Why not wait until after getting drafted if you have literal breathing problems from covid and you're a WR.

Come on
