Bengals Coach Compares Chase Brown to Dynamic NFL Talent

Chase Brown could have a massive 2025 season as he gets set up for success in Dan Pitcher and Zac Taylor's offense. The Bengals' offensive coordinator had big praise ready for Brown this week.

Brown is the team's lead back entering the season and has a strong stable of talents to back him up.

"I think Chase Brown is going to, by the end of the season, be a household name," Pitcher told Yahoo's Jori Epstein. "He's everything that Austin Ekeler was. ... I think that by the time the season's over, [you'll all] know who he is."

Bengals fans know, but the national eyes haven't quite landed on Brown's dual talent just yet. The third-year player did plenty of dynamic workouts this offseason, including wide receiver work with Andrei Iosivas and more to keep getting sharper in a pass-heavy offense.

He notched 1,350 total yards last season and 11 touchdowns on 283 touches in Cincinnati's unit.
