NFL fans pulled no punches when it came to Ja’Marr Chase’s pregame drip ahead of the Bengals-Chargers clash. The star wide receiver stepped out in a boldly casual outfit that had fans splitting up — and not in a good way.
Be it the questionable choice of style or the reactions that followed, it’s clear: Chase’s fashion sense is just as much of a hot topic as his on-field skills. Let’s just say, his pregame look got roasted harder than a postgame press conference.
Ja’Marr Chase’s Pregame Fit Sparks Hilarious Internet Roasts
Chase’s pregame fit before the Bengals-Chargers game had fans lighting up the internet for all the wrong reasons. The star WR rolled into SoFi Stadium rocking a streetwear ensemble that definitely caught some eyes. But not for the reasons he probably hoped.
Chase donned a black oversized hoodie, paired with below-the-knee, baggy-washed jeans. His mustard-colored boots, which could’ve been a statement piece, didn’t exactly help his case. To top it off, the look included a massive silver chain swinging from his neck, and a giant bag he was clearly carrying everything but his football in. The fit screamed “I’m here to relax” but left fans wondering if he was actually ready to play.
The fashion police were out in full force. One fan tweeted, “Ja’Marr, what is this 💀?” with the skull emoji perfectly capturing the confusion.
Jamarr what is this💀

Another chimed in, “Who is dressing these guys?” questioning the choices behind the look.

Things took a humorous turn when one fan commented, “Bruh, that’s the 90s,” clearly suggesting that Chase had time-traveled straight from an old-school rap video.
Bruh, that's the 90s

And let’s not forget the critiques on those pants. “Homie wearing culottes?” and “What are those pants?” flooded X, with fans taking jabs at the oversized cut.
Chase might be known for his elite hands, but his style? Let’s just say he might need a new game plan when it comes to fashion.
Chase’s Net Worth and Career Earnings
Chase’s net worth is currently estimated to be $25 million. However, that number is sure to skyrocket once he inks his new deal.
Since Chase is still on his rookie deal, his career earnings are only $30,819,642. This is obviously a ton of money, but relatively speaking, it pales in comparison to what veterans like Kansas City Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins ($142.2 million), Houston Texans WR Stefon Diggs ($137.3 million), Buffalo Bills WR Amari Cooper ($136.6 million), and Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans ($133.3 million) have earned.
Still, it’s worth noting that this $30.8 million figure is just from Chase’s NFL contracts. This doesn’t factor in his various endorsement deals with companies like Nike and Pepsi.
Chase also owns a home, which he bought strictly because he wanted to live on the same street as Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, his close friend dating back to college when they played at LSU together.
“He was looking for a place to live. He, of course, said, ‘Well, I want to live next to Joe Burrow.’ So what did he do? He went down to the street that Joe Burrow lives on and went door to door, knocking on every door offering to buy their house,” The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr. revealed on his podcast.
“What else do you do if you’re rich and want to live next to your buddy? You just go to people’s houses that live in the neighborhood and offer to buy them. And guess what? He bought one! Somebody sold him their house, so he lives next to Joe Burrow now on their little street and they’re like one happy family.
“He basically went around and was like, ‘Hi, I’m Ja’Marr Chase. I have lots of money and I want to buy the house.’ Eventually, he found somebody that he bought it from, and now they’re neighbors.”
