Joe Burrow Headlines Ja’Marr Chase’s New Podcast Debut

Many NFL stars have now started their own podcasts — the Kelce brothers have “New Heights,” Micah Parsons has “The Edge with Micah Parsons” and the St. Brown brothers have “The St. Brown Podcast.” Now, the Cincinnati Bengals’ star wide receiver is entering the game.

Ja’Marr Chase has partnered with Overtime to produce a new show called “Chasing No. 1.” Along with prominent NFL influencer Annie Agar, Chase is looking to shine a bigger spotlight on the Bengals with special guests and plenty of interviews.

The debut episode aired Wednesday, Sept. 2, and the first guest was none other than Cincinnati’s franchise quarterback, Joe Burrow.

Burrow was asked what his goals for the season were, and he said he simply wanted to win. He thinks the team has a chance to be really special and win every game it steps on the field for. With wins come the rest — the stats, the records and the fame — and Burrow said he could truly feel that this year’s team is different from the rest just by being around everyone during the offseason.

He went on to say the organization did a great job bringing in the right guys and players who share the mindset of grinding for a Super Bowl. Burrow made sure to shout out the defense, which he thinks has a solid foundation of experienced veterans to help the younger guys.

Agar then asked how Burrow responds to criticism, and his answer should come as no surprise to Bengals fans. He said he has never and will never care about any of the outside noise, especially when it comes to the clothes he wears. Burrow has been known to draw attention with his pregame outfits, but it all comes down to comfort for him. No one’s opinions matter besides his own.

Chase and Burrow’s connection on the field is evident, but this new podcast will give listeners new looks at Chase’s relationships with not only his quarterback but also other Bengals teammates.

As the podcast continues, fans will have the chance to hear from more players outside of their usual media appearances and get a different perspective on the personalities inside the Bengals’ locker room. Chase’s relationships with his teammates have been well documented on the field, but conversations away from football could provide an even closer look at the chemistry that has helped shape the team.

With Burrow setting the tone for the first episode, Chase has plenty of opportunities to build on that start and give Bengals fans a new way to connect with the players they watch every Sunday.
