Ja'Marr Chase Names the Two Toughest NFL CBs 'By Far'
Cincinnati Benglas wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase named the two toughest NFL cornerbacks he has to go up against.
Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja Marr Chase has named Denzel Ward and Patrick Surtain II as the two most difficult cornerback challenges for him. Chase, a five-time NFL Pro Bowler and 2024 Triple Crown winner with the Bengals, was asked at training camp about which secondary defenders trouble him the most. Without hesitation, he pointed to Ward and Surtain as "the two guys by far."
Denzel Ward, who signed a lucrative two-year, $62.2 million contract extension with the Cleveland Browns in 2025, was named to the Pro Bowl for the third consecutive season. The same year Chase achieved his Triple Crown, Patrick Surtain, the Denver Broncos cornerback, was honored as the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year. Chase and the Bengals are set to begin their 2026 regular-season schedule with a Week 1 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 13.
