🏈 Ja'Marr Chase 2021 Panini Donruss #262 Portrait Rookie RC Football Card — PSA 10 GEM MINT — Cincinnati Bengals — The 'Portrait' Subset Captures the 5th Overall Pick Who Broke the NFL Rookie Receiving Record and Led the Bengals to the Super Bowl in His First Season, Certified Perfect

🏈 The last time Ja'Marr Chase and Joe Burrow played together before the 2021 NFL season, they were playing for LSU in the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship — where Burrow won the Heisman Trophy and LSU was dominant. Two years later, the Bengals reunited them by drafting Chase 5th overall, and the result was one of the most productive rookie wide receiver seasons in professional football history. 81 receptions. 1,455 yards. 13 touchdowns. An NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. A Super Bowl appearance. His 2021 Panini Donruss #262 Portrait rookie card, graded PSA 10 GEM MINT, documents the beginning of that story. Condition: NOS.

🐯 Cincinnati Bengals and the 'Who Dey' Resurrection

🐯 The Cincinnati Bengals had not made the playoffs in several years when Ja'Marr Chase arrived. The franchise had been one of the more patient rebuilding situations in the AFC. When Chase and Burrow connected in 2021, the Bengals became something the city had not experienced in decades — a legitimate Super Bowl contender. They defeated the Las Vegas Raiders, Tennessee Titans, and Kansas City Chiefs in the postseason before falling to the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI. For a fanbase that had lived through lean years, the 2021 season with Chase at wide receiver was a reminder of what their team could be. Condition: NOS.

🎨 Panini Donruss 'Portrait' Subset — The Stylized Rookie Format

🎨 The 'Portrait' subset within 2021 Panini Donruss features a close-focus, portrait-oriented presentation of the player — a stylistic choice that puts the face and identity of the athlete front and center rather than an action moment. Card #262 in the Portrait checklist is the Ja'Marr Chase entry. The Donruss product line has been one of the most consistently collected in football cards for decades, and the rookie subset cards from the 2021 class carry the weight of one of the more talked-about first-year wide receiver performances the league has seen. Condition: NOS.

🌟 LSU Legacy — Chase and Burrow, the College Connection Continued

🌟 The story of Ja'Marr Chase cannot be told without the LSU context. He was a Biletnikoff Award winner in 2019 — the award given annually to the best wide receiver in college football. He sat out the 2020 season to prepare for the draft. When Cincinnati selected him, they were not just adding a talented receiver — they were adding the college teammate who knew Burrow's tendencies, timing, and preferences better than any other receiver available. That familiarity showed immediately. Condition: NOS.
