Quote from the Coach: “Chase has played a great deal of football for us over the last three years and has done so at a very high level. Chase is a weapon in all three phases of the game and has been a major contributor in those phases. He is really one of the unsung heroes on the team. He is unselfish. Chase is part of a stable of running backs where the wealth is shared. On defense, his athleticism allows us to put him in a hybrid situation and he has a real knack for the return game.”
