Sony Michel’s old teammate in the Georgia backfield knows splitting carries can go ‘a long ways’

Nick Chubb knows how that whole backfield-committee thing works.

The Cleveland Browns rookie saw it work quite well during his time at Georgia en route to being selected No. 35 overall in the 2018 NFL draft. He saw his college roommate, teammate and position-mate go four spots before him, too.

“We went a long ways last year with splitting the carries and things like that,” Chubb told reporters at Browns training camp in Berea, Ohio on Friday, via ClevelandBrowns.com. “It has proven to work.”

But Chubb would note that it was a series-by-series and play-by-play personnel approach between he and New England Patriots newcomer Sony Michel.
