Injured in 4th game of the 2004 season, but was skyrocketing up the draft boards at that time. In just 4 games, Chase had 14 catches for 414 yards (a 29.5 average!!) with 5 TD catches.
CDS Profile
Chase is a big possessin receiver who has enough speed to big successful as a slot receiver in the NFL. He is not a true burner, but is tough, physical and will battle the DB for the catch. He will rarely allow a pass to be picked off against him if there is a jump situation. Chase is being overlooked some because of the fact that he was injured for the greater part of his final college season, but he did run reasonably well for a big wideout at the combine and showed well in all of the agility drills. Chase's taking the ball away from highl-touted CB Brandon Browner for a TD in the CAL-OSU game is indelibly etched in this writer's mind, and I will not be the least bit surprised should Lyman's name be called late on day one of the 2005 draft.
