Nick Chubb is the fourth RB ever to retire with over 1,000 carries, over 5 yards a carry

Nick Chubb, a former running back for the Cleveland Browns, announced his retirement on Friday, marking the end of his illustrious career. Chubb joins an exclusive club of four NFL players to have more than 1,000 carries and average more than five yards per carry. His impressive statistics include 7,349 yards on 1,462 carries, giving him an average of 5.03 yards per carry.

Only three other running backs in league history have achieved this feat: Jamaal Charles and Joe Perry, both of whom played for the San Francisco 49ers, and Jim Brown, who played for the Cleveland Browns. Jamaal Charles, who played for the Chiefs from 2008 to 2016 and briefly for the Broncos and Jaguars before retiring in 2018, had the highest average at 5.38 yards per carry.

Jim Brown, who played for the Browns from 1957 to 1965, had an impressive 12,312 yards on 2,359 carries, a record that stood for decades. Joe Perry, who began his career with the 49ers in 1948 and played for them until 1965, along with two seasons with the Baltimore Colts, had an average of 5.04 yards per carry. Despite his career being cut short by a knee injury, Chubb's impact on the game was significant, placing him among the most successful running backs in NFL history.
