While it's an easy term to throw around, I don't think you can call him a bust. He was DROY, and he didn't win it because of his name or hype. He had almost double the sacks than the next rookie with 7.5. He had 4 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recoveries, and he was the only DE to score a TD that year. According to PFF, from Week 12 on he earned a 90.6 PFF grade that trailed only Khalil Mack for the best at the position.
Nope, he hasn't been the same since that 2020 season. He had a "Sophmore slump" kinda season going on in 2021, and tore his ACL in week 9. He only played in 3 games last year. Injuries are the sole reason he didn't get the 5th year option.
I personally like the idea of having Chase in a prove - it year. I think he will be a beast this year. He just needs to stay healthy. If he does, we're in for a show I think. If he doesn't, that's just unfortunate for him, the team,
and us.
