Nick Chubb selected No. 35 overall by the Cleveland Browns
Former Georgia standout Nick Chubb was selected No. 35 overall by the Cleveland Browns on day two of the NFL Draft.
The 5-foot-11, 227-pound bruiser amassed an amazing 758 carries for 4,769 yards and 31 touchdowns during his four-year career. Yes, that’s a lot of miles for a running back, but there’s still plenty left in the tank for Chubb’s NFL career.
Chubb, unlike his counterpart Sony Michel, isn’t very elusive, but he has a low center of gravity and brings the hammer on opposing would-be tacklers. His one-cut ability and patience in finding the hole scouts love; however, some scouts are still concerned about the lack of explosiveness before his leg injury in 2015. No doubt that before his injury, Chubb was special. After his injury, though, he’s a very good back.
Chubb was rated a 5-star prospect in the class of 2014, and he was ranked as the nation’s No. 33 overall player, the country’s No. 5 overall running back and the state’s No. 3 overall player, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.
