Browns coach says Nick Chubb skilled enough to eclipse 1,000 yards rushing and receiving

Former Georgia running back Nick Chubb went on a tear during his first season with the Browns, setting Cleveland’s rookie rushing record and going for 996 yards and eight touchdowns.

Chubb did not go crazy in the air game, but he did reel in 20 catches for 149 yards ands two touchdowns.

Now, with a full season under his belt, look for the Browns to go to Chubb early and often in 2019, rather than waiting to get him situated with the offense.

Cleveland is lucky to have Georgia’s second all-time leading rusher, and the team’s position coach, Stump Mitchell, thinks Chubb can one day eclipse both 1,000 yards rushing and receiving.
