Joe Burrow had some glowing words ready for his top playmaker on the Bengals. The star quarterback praised Ja'Marr Chase as one of the best wide receivers in football history during Netflix's Quarterback show.

"One of the best players of all time," Burrow said about Chase. "And if you're quarterback, and you're not going to throw to that guy. Then you shouldn't be the quarterback of that team anymore."

Chase noted it was really cool for Burrow to say that on a platform like Quarterback. It's another example of how close the elite duo is, dating back to their time together at LSU at the end of last decade.
