Chase became the sixth receiver in the Super Bowl era to win the Triple Crown, leading the NFL in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. He joined Jerry Rice, Sterling Sharpe, Steve Smith Sr. and Cooper Kupp as the only receivers to accomplish the feat since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger. He’s also the youngest receiver to win the crown since Hall-of-Famer Don Hutson did it at 23 years old in 1936.
Chase finished the season with 127 receptions for 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns. Not only did those pace the league, but he also set the franchise record for receptions and yards and tied the franchise record for touchdowns, matching Carl Pickens’ 17 touchdowns from 1995. Chase was named to the AP All-Pro First Team for his efforts.
The FedEx Air & Ground Awards have been in existence for over 20 years. FedEx works with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund to make donations of $2,000 in the names of the two winning players ($4,000 total) to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) across the country every week during the season. The company has donated more than $300,000 to HBCU’s over the past three seasons, per NFL.com, and the awards program has donated nearly 3 million dollars to various non-profits through its existence.
