N.C. State will be taking 20 seniors to the Sun Bowl and there’s a chance that one, defensive end Bradley Chubb, could sit out the game.
Chubb, the ACC defensive player of the year and the 2017 Bronco Nagurski Trophy winner as the nation’s best defensive player, figures to be a first-round NFL draft pick, with millions of dollars in his future. Why risk an injury?
Wolfpack coach Dave Doeren said he has talked with Chubb at length. If he knows Chubb’s decision about playing, Doeren isn’t saying.
“He wants the focus to be on the senior class and how hard these guys have worked in the last stage of this journey,” Doeren said Wednesday.
