I think it's safe to say that although Chase was the 10th running back drafted in 2023, much to the chagrin and confusion of most of us here, he is pretty comfortably the third best back from that class after Bijan and Gibbs.

He had a really rough time of it early on especially with Burrow out but he's bounced back late in the season. He still has a chance to top 1000 rushing yards foe the year.

I think I had him #2 or #3 that year. I had Robinson first but I believe I had him over Gibbs.

Had Spoon #1 DB, DeVito as the #5 (I think QB, etc. I have to find it somewhere but some pretty big hits that year on my draft rankings I used to do.

Chase had 846 yards going into today, and has 101 yards thru the middle of Q4, so odds are high he makes 1000 w over a game left.
Also has 2 TD's, bringing his season total to 6.

PS: WR Marvin Harrison for AZ has 1 target and 0 receptions for the game. No such thing as a sure thing, I guess.

Cards are a dumpster fire, Harrison will pan out just fine imo once they get the new pieces they need.

Wife and I ran into Isaiah on campus (on his way to class) during a visit to Champaign to attend spring practice (Bring back open spring practice!). He was very friendly and graciously thanked us for coming up. Class act.

Fun Fact re: Chase Brown (if I mathed correctly):

Last year, Chase Brown had 229 carries for 990 yards, which was 4.3 ypc.

This year (with one game remaining), he has 219 carries for 947 yards, which is again 4.3 ypc.

If in his final game he carries 10 times at his average ypc, he will AGAIN end the season at 229 carries for 990 yards.

For monetary reasons (mine) can he please carry 13 times at his average ypc?
