Billy Beebe notes that Brown has gotten better the more he has played, excelling in both running and receiving roles. The challenge for Brown in leveling up within Cincinnati's pass-heavy offense is to do more and provide an "irreplaceable vibe" through his numbers and on-field play. This is crucial for securing an extension, as the Bengals have shown a willingness to make tough decisions at the running back position, as seen with Joe Mixon. 2025 Bengals Stats Leaders (Receiving): Ja'Marr Chase: 125 REC, 1,412 YDS, 8 TD Tee Higgins: 59 REC, 846 YDS, 11 TD Chase Brown: 69 REC, 437 YDS, 5 TD Linebackers Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight are positioned for an upgrade season in 2026, despite skepticism from some, including ESPN's Ben Solak. Solak highlighted their high missed tackle rates in 2025 (Knight 14.5%, Carter 13.8%), which contributed to the Bengals' bottom-five run defense. However, Billy Beebe points out that the Bengals have made significant improvements to their defensive line and secondary with acquisitions like Jonathan Allen, Dexter Lawrence, Bryan Cook, and Kyle Dugger, which should directly benefit Carter and Knight in their sophomore year. Adding a veteran linebacker like Bobby Wagner or Bobby Okereke could also provide valuable support.
