Watch: Nick Chubb’s 10 greatest Georgia plays

Watch this highlight video of Nick Chubb’s 10 greatest Georgia football plays.

Nick Chubb became the NFL’s second leading rusher in 2019, making him a household name among football fans.

But prior to that, he became The University of Georgia’s second all-time leading rusher by the time his collegiate career came to an end.

Watching Chubb at Georgia was special. It was like he was playing against my cousin’s Pop Warner team, bouncing off nearly every tackle.

Chubb started his UGA career with a 4 carry, 70 yard and 1 touchdown performance against Clemson in 2014. By the time he left Georgia, he had tallied 4,769 rushing yards.

Now he’s an NFL Pro-Bowler with the Cleveland Browns, but the kid from Cedartown will always be a Georgia Bulldog.

Here are Chubb’s top-10 Georgia players, according to video creator Hex Highlights.

 

 

 

Nick Chubb named to list of top NFL players under age of 25

Georgia football great and current Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb considered one of the best young NFL talents.

Former Georgia running back Nick Chubb is a rising star in the NFL and he’s only 24 years old.

He just finished as the second leading rusher in the league and is widely viewed as one of the best ball carriers in pro football.

CBSSports recently ranked the top 25 NFL players who will begin the 2020 season under the age of 25, and included Chubb on its list.

The Cleveland Browns star checked in at No. 20 on and was the fifth highest ranked running back behind Christian McCaffrey (No. 8), Ezekiel Elliot (No. 15), Saquon Barkley (No. 17), and Alvin Kamara (No. 18).

Here’s what CBSSports wrote about Chubb:

Chubb is yet another example of how teams don’t really know how to evaluate players in the draft. In the 2018 NFL Draft, the Browns grabbed Chubb with the third pick in the second round. Which means Chubb was the fourth running back off the board. The three running backs taken before him? Saquon Barkley, Rashaad Penny, and Sony Michel. Only Barkley is a better player than Chubb, but considering where they were drafted (No. 2 overall compared to No. 35), it’s Chubb who represents better value. Put another way, the Giants would’ve been better off drafting someone else (they had a ton of options) at No. 2 and then getting Chubb at No. 34. Through two seasons, Chubb has totaled 2,917 yards and 18 touchdowns from scrimmage while averaging 5.3 yards per touch. In that span, he ranks fifth in yards from scrimmage among all running backs.

Georgia football RB D’Andre Swift ranks top-five NFL backs

Georgia football RB D’Andre Swift ranked the top-five NFL running backs in today’s game.

Georgia running back D’Andre Swift is considered the top ball carrier in this year’s NFL Draft.

With the event set to take place next week, Swift should expect to hear his name called in either the first or second round of the virtual draft.

In an interview with USA TODAY’s Mackenzie Salmon, Swift was asked to rank either the top-five NFL running backs of all-time or the top-five that are currently in the league.

Swift opted to rank the five best current running backs.

Here they are:

Who are the top 10 running backs in the NFL going into 2020?

Here are the top 10 players at the running back position going into 2020.

Last year, we ranked Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey No. 3 overall at his position. In retrospect, it seems we sold him short. McCaffrey had a phenomenal campaign in 2019 and is now established as one of the game’s elite offensive players. Where does he rank now compared to his peers around the NFL?

10. Leonard Fournette

That Fournette barely made this list speaks to the level of talent around the NFL at this spot. Fournette remains one of the league’s best power runners. In 2019, he only scored three touchdowns, but he did total 1,152 rushing yards despite playing from behind most of the time. Fournette only fumbled once and also became more of a passing threat. He caught 76 of 100 targets, posting a career high with 522 receiving yards.
