Nick Chubb Could See More Work In Passing Game
5 years agoCleveland Browns running backs coach Stump Mitchell talked up running back Nick Chubb on Wednesday. "I think he’s going to be special like he was last year," said Mitchell. "He’ll be used a little more in the passing game than he was last year. Nick just continues to improve on the skillset that he has, and I think he has a fantastic skillset." In a rising offense as the lead back that could see more work catching passes in his second season, Chubb has low-end RB1 appeal. The 23-year-old had 192 carries for 996 yards and eight touchdowns in his rookie season and caught 20 passes for 149 yards and two more scores. Chubb could lose some playing time on passing situations once Kareem Hunt returns from suspension in the second half of the season, but it shouldn't make him any less appealing.
