It’s hard to argue that Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb hasn’t been one of the league’s best players at his position since entering the league in 2018. One analyst, PFF’s Trevor Sikkema, placed Chubb as the best in class in his running back rankings ahead of the 2023 season.
“Chubb takes the top honor here for his consistency. He’s never posted a rushing grade below 80.0, and his most recent grade of 90.7 in 2022 was a career high. Along with being one of the most physically gifted backs, he regularly forces missed tackles at one of the highest rates in the NFL and ranks near the top in yards-per-carry average.”
So far Chubb hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down and his career average of 5.2 yards per carry is impressive. Cleveland’s offense will change this year and the team will likely throw the ball more, but that doesn’t mean that Chubb won’t play a huge part in the team’s success in 2023.
