Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase has been anything but shy approaching his NFL debut.

The fifth overall pick in this year’s draft called out Minnesota Vikings cornerback Patrick Peterson earlier this week and added fuel to the fire with just three characters on Twitter.

1-0.

A subliminal, yet blatant, message that his Bengals will come away with a win in Sunday’s season opener.

Third-year Vikings cornerback Kris Boyd wouldn’t let the tweet go unaddressed, sharing his reaction to Chase on Friday.

 

Boyd, a reserve corner, is fourth on the depth chart and could see Chase in Sunday’s matchup.
