4. player. 53. . . . Nick Chubb

Another running back who has been highly productive is Browns’ running back Nick Chubb. The former Georgia Bulldogs running back has 4,816 career rushing yards and 36 rushing touchdowns in his four years in the NFL.  He has averaged at least five yards per carry every season but unlike Dalvin Cook he doesn’t bring much in the passing game.

This is not an issue for the Cleveland Browns as they have Kareem Hunt to handle those responsibilities which makes Chubb almost even more effective because he can focus on what he does best. He certainly is more of a power running back that typically doesn’t go down at first contact.

According to Pro Football Reference, Chubb has ranked in the Top 5 in broken tackles each season in the league. He has had over 20 every year and even led the league in 2020 with 32. In this game it is going to be important to have everyone collapsing on Nick Chubb when he has the ball to try and limit those extra yards after contact.
