Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase loves his fans, but sometimes, he just tries to move around without people running up to him.
While on a flight to an unknown location, Chase had a hoodie on and had his face covered to avoid detection. Unfortunately, he just happened to be the presence of an autograph seeker.
The man was denied the opportunity to get one, so the fan decided to blow his cover.
As the plane seemingly landed at its destination, the unknown male fan yelled out to all of the passengers to speak to the Bengals wideout.

Chase has not spoken out about the incident and is unlikely to do so. He is not obligated to sign autographs while in public.
The Cincinnati Bengals made huge moves this offseason after reaching contract extensions with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
Chase’s deal was for four years and $161 million, which, according to NFL Network, will make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
Higgins signed for four years and $115 million, per the report.
The deal keeps Cincinnati’s top two receivers and the core of the Bengals’ explosive passing game, along with quarterback Joe Burrow, intact.
The 25-year-old Chase won the league’s triple crown for wide receivers, leading the league in touchdown catches (17), receptions (127), and receiving yards (1,708).
It was the first time a receiver achieved the feat since the Los Angeles Rams’ Cooper Kupp in 2021.
Higgins dealt with injuries last year, but he was 10th in receiving yards per game (75.9), according to ESPN Research. He also caught 10 touchdowns in 12 appearances.
