The Cleveland Browns have the league’s best running back, but someone needs to let Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar know. In his 11 best running backs in the NFL, Farrar snubs Chubb from the top spot as he finished with the silver medal in his rankings. Here is what Farrar had to say about the Cleveland ball carrier:
“From a pure running back perspective, it’s tough to argue that there’s anybody in the NFL better than Nick Chubb. Everything you want a back to do, Chubb does either at a high level, or better than anybody else at his position in the NFL… Moreover, there isn’t a back better at combining power and explosiveness — both the stats and tape verify this.”
Who finished first? San Francisco 49ers’ versatile threat Christian McCaffrey. There is no doubting the talent of McCaffrey and what he did for the 49ers’ offense once he was traded over; he even finished second in the rankings I published just last month.
However, my money will be placed on Chubb.
