First and foremost, I just want to give all the glory to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, it's been an unbelievable season. This is a group of guys that's built on John 15:13. We serve each other, we love each other, and we'd die for each other," he said, pointing to the team's true source of unity.

John 15:13 says, "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends."

The Daily Citizen reports that Chase wears the #99 to refer to the Parable of the Lost Sheep, and how the Good Shepherd would leave the 99 sheep safely in the fold to run out looking after a single lost sheep.

And several sources report he had Acts 20:24 written on his shoes. It states, "However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace."
