That's an explosive, and that's what we need. That's another Tee Higgins. We've got somebody else to go there and get a jump ball. I don't really get jump balls like that. Joe usually leads me out in front. But seeing it from the younger guys and seeing what kind of catches they can make, contested catches, that's what we need.

Elite WR endorsing Noah Thomas's contested-catch and jump-ball ability as a valuable complement to the Bengals offense. Chase noted that Thomas represents the type of explosive, big-bodied receiver skill set Cincinnati needs, especially for jump-ball opportunities.

This endorsement from one of the NFL's premier receivers highlights the Bengals' strategic need for contested-catch specialists alongside Chase's own route-running profile.
