The Cincinnati Bengals got a gem in the 2023 NFL draft by selecting running back Chase Brown in the fifth round.
The team moved on from Joe Mixon, who started the last seven seasons. Looking for his replacement heading into this campaign, they leaned on Brown, who had just 44 carries and no rushing touchdowns in 2023-24 but he has surpassed expectations.
Chase has become the team's No. 1 running back, rushing for 990 yards and seven TDs while averaging 4.3 yards per carry. Additionally, he has 54 catches for 360 yards and four TDs.
