Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase made an appearance at Sycamore High School on Saturday to teach a youth football camp.Chase, 25, coached over 300 different kids from across the Greater Cincinnati area who were between 1st and 8th grade.”A lot of kids running around, about 300 right now,” said Chase to a group of media members assembled at the event. “All ages, up to, like, fourteen. So it’s been pretty good, man. Just coming back, giving back to the community, helping them, you know, be themselves, see someone that they aspire.”Chase has been a crucial component of Cincinnati’s offense since arriving to the team in 2021. He was named First-team All-Pro in 2024 by the Associated Press, a distinction that marks him as one of the NFL’s best receivers.However, Chase’s future with the Bengals remained uncertain until late, with Chase and the team unable to agree on a long-term deal.Finally, Chase and the Bengals announced that they had arrived on a four-year extension worth $161 million in March. Fellow star wide receiver Tee Higgins also was granted a four-year extension in a $115 million deal announced at the same time.Other than his appearances at youth football camps throughout the Greater Cincinnati area during his time with the Bengals, Chase has also become widely known for his iconic “griddy” dance, which has become a staple of Bengals games for the past few years.And, of course, these two things naturally came together as one on Saturday when Chase showed off his “griddy” dance for all the assembled attendees of the youth event. Many of the kids joined in on the fun, making it a competition to try and show off their own best touchdown dances to Chase after successfully catching the footballs that were passed to them.”I think the best celebration I saw on the one-on-one’s was the kid telling me I’m too small, when he’s smaller than me,” said Chase. “You know, so, stuff like that goes a long way.”
