The Cleveland Browns twitter account is posting videos of Nick Chubb lifting very heavy weight, and it is impressive.
Since Nick Chubb has entered the NFL, he has been one of the most impressive athletes we have had the privilege of watching. The former 2nd round pick out of Georgia has given us countless highlights to watch during his All Pro and pro bowl seasons since joining the Browns in 2018. Last year we were robbed of another opportunity to add to the highlight reel by a grotesque injury in week 2 vs the Steelers that went viral, and left many to question whether we had seen the last of the elite Nick Chubb.
Today on the Cleveland Browns twitter page, he gave us hope that the highlights may not be over just yet. The team page posted a video of Chubb in the weight room squatting over 600 lbs for multiple reps with ease. This does not mean he will be all systems go for training camp, but it does mean that he has made some serious strides in his recovery to be able to handle that type of weight eight months after his second surgery to recover from the ACL tear he suffered last year. Chubb is priced at rb44 on Underdog fantasy currently and as redraft season is fast approaching, this may move him up the ranks rather quickly.
