Chase joins Kupp, Steve Smith Sr, Sterling Sharpe, Jerry Rice, and Lance Alworth as the winners from the modern era. Both Rice and Alworth are in the Hall of Fame while Sharpe and Smith Sr have been finalists. Both Kupp and Chase are likely to be finalists at the very least once their careers come to an end.

Cooper Kupp had arguably the greatest season by a wide receiver in NFL history. The Los Angeles Rams star receiver finished with 145 receptions for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns, winning the receiving Triple Crown and being named AP Offensive Player of the Year.
