Bears Chase Claypool isn’t exactly thrilled with how things have been shaping up in the team’ offense this NFL season.
Three weeks in, and the team is struggling, averaging just over 15 points per game. For Claypool, who’s in a critical contract year, frustration is building.
He’s only managed to pull in four catches out of 14 targets, amassing a total of 51 yards and one touchdown.
When questioned about whether the coaching staff is putting him in the best position to thrive, Claypool was straightforward – “No.”

Claypool actually gone viral after his Week 1 performance due to lack of effort on blocking but seems to believe he improved in that area.
Claypool was asked what the coaching staff can do to use him better, his answer wasn’t too helpful: “You know, I’ll let them decide that, that’s their job to decide, and I’ll just do what they tell me to do.”
