Cincinnati Bengals wideouts Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins have signed off on Brian Callahan to at least one Tennessee Titans star.
Speaking at the NFL owners meetings this week, Titans wideout DeAndre Hopkins revealed that he got positive words from Chase and Higgins once the former Bengals offensive coordinator came over from Cincinnati to serve as the new head coach.
“I am very excited to get going under Brian’s offense, and his schemes,” Hopkins said, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans’ official website. “Obviously I’ve talked to Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins and those guys told me that I would love this offense, and I think the sky is the limit, especially with a guy like Calvin (Ridley). I am very excited for this offense.”
Chase and Higgins, of course, would know. And now Callahan looks like he will indeed try to emulate the Cincinnati system at least a little bit by having Calvin Ridley play a Chase-like role to Hopkins’ Higgins.
Hopkins scored seven times with 1,000-plus yards last year as it is, so he’s probably thrilled to hear about the possible upgrade, too.
