Cleveland is just 2-3 to start its 2022 season, but the Browns have the chance to turn things around behind one of the best running backs in the NFL.
Nick Chubb is now in his 5th NFL season and off to an incredible start to 2022, having rushed for 593 yards and 7 touchdowns through 5 games. The 5-11, 227-pounder is also averaging an impressive 6.1 yards per carry.
After a standout career at Georgia, Chubb was selected by Cleveland in the 2nd round of the 2018 NFL Draft with the 35th overall pick.
He rushed for more than 3,800 yards and 28 touchdowns combined the last 3 seasons, but his play so far this year has observers taking notice.

In fact, what Chubb has accomplished so far this season has historical significance.
More specifically, he is the first NFL player to eclipse 575 rushing yards and rush for at least 7 TDs on less than 100 carries in the opening 5 games of a season.
