In balloting by a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the NFL, and released Thursday night at NFL Honors, Chase drew 42 votes to easily outdistance New England quarterback Mac Jones with five. Kansas City center Creed Humphrey got two votes, while Chargers tackle Rashawn Slater received one.

In the Bengals’ worst-to-first AFC North rise, and then deep into the playoffs, Chase was a major contributor.

Instead, Burrow found his former LSU teammate 81 times for 1,455 yards with 13 touchdowns. Chase was a factor on every sort of route.
He is the third Bengals receiver to win the award, following Eddie Brown (1985) and Carl Pickens (1992).
