Interestingly, descendants of the original Chubb brothers continue to attain astounding heights.

His Career, Injury, and Stats

The athletic traits in Nick Chubb’s family were noticed in him during his high school days at Cedartown High School located in Cedartown, Georgia – he was a star in both track & field and football. As a junior, he was one of the most remarkable players, gathering a massive 2721 rushing yards and 38 touchdowns.

On the track, Nick participated in various events like shot put, long jump, and 100-meters race. Between 2011 and 2015, he won several titles at various sporting events.

His freshman season saw him as a backup to Todd Gurley, a starter who is now a running back in the NFL. Todd’s suspension would later give Chubb a chance at being a starter and he ended the season with 1547 rushing yards. His sophomore year started well but Nick didn’t get the chance to assert himself as much as he desired, the season ended badly for him after he sustained a serious injury on his knee.

Luckily, Chubb recovered in time to begin in the 2016 season under the coaching of Kirby Smart. Despite having an ankle sprain earlier in the season, he recorded a touchdown which sealed the Georgia team’s victory against TCU in the 2016 Liberty Bowl. His performance earned him a good number of prestigious recognitions and in view of that, it was thought that he would avail himself for the 2017 NFL Draft. This didn’t happen as Nick decided to remain with the Bulldogs. He eventually led the team to win the SEC championship with him recording 13 touchdowns and 1,175 yards.

In the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Nick Chubb came 35th overall as he was drafted by the Cleveland Browns.
