Chase is known for not holding back when it comes to expressing his bold views. Recently, he took a dig at Patrick Mahomes by saying “Patrick Who” while declaring his QB Joe Burrow the very best in the business. However, when it comes to life away from the sport, the champion athlete is an exceedingly lovable personality who had no hesitation in showering money on his family members, after he was given a massive rookie deal by the Bengals.

“The first thing I bought was my mom’s car,” J’Marr told GQ Sports. “That was about $65k, got her a Mazi. My pops came to me about it. She been having an Audi and the Audi was like real bad, the air stopped working in it. So she’s not about to try to ride around in no hot car, so gotta get her a car ASAP,” he added.

Chase further stated that the car was a midnight black Maserati with red interiors which already had everything stacked in it when it arrived. “It already came stocked, so I ain’t paid no extra. She(his mom) was crying like tears of joy, so that was good to see. She made me start to cry,” the WR said.

As it turns out, ‘Family Man’ Chase has got some swagger too.

Inspired by Odell Beckham Jr. and Jamal Adams, Ja’Marr wasted no time in getting inked after drawing his first million.
