Chase Claypool: biography
Chase Claypool, an American football wide receiver from Canada caught the attention of the media multiple times. An overall talented athlete has a promising future and a great chance to become a star.
He was born on July 7, 1998 in Abbotsford, Canada to John Mensah and Jasmine Claypool. He grew up with four brothers, two stepbrothers, and a sister. As a teenager, he loved BMX bikes and basketball. In fact, the night before sending a letter of intent to join a college football program, he played in a basketball game and scored 51 points.
Childhood and youth
A system of adults supported the children in his neighborhood, and this was very helpful, because Chase's mother had to work a lot. Most of his family are into karate and gymnastics. One of his siblings played football for the University of British Columbia and recommended Chase choose this sport.
A traumatic event happened in the family when Chase was only 13. His sister very unexpectedly took her own life. The boy had to process this tragedy at a quite a young age. He decided to use this as a motivator to work harder. He has a tattoo on his right arm in his sister's memory.
Football career
At the age of 16, Chase received offers from more than a dozen colleges. He made a choice to play football for Notre Dame.
In the 2020 NFL Draft Pittsburgh Steelers selected Claypool and signed a four-year rookie contract with him. His performance was spectacular. During week 5, he scored four touchdowns in a game, thus becoming the first Steeler rookie to do so. Claypool's contract expires in 2024, after which he becomes a free agent.
