Cleveland, Ohio - October 20: Former University of Georgia running back Nick Chubb officially signed a 1-day contract with the Cleveland Browns on Friday to retire with the team. Chubb, who first revealed his retirement plans last month, expressed his deep connection to the city of Cleveland, stating that it feels like a second home to him.
He added that retiring as a Brown means a great deal to him and his family, as well as the unforgettable experiences he had with the Dawg Pound. Chubb, who played for Georgia from 2014 to 2017, holds the record for the second-most rushing yards in Georgia history with 4,769, trailing only Herschel Walker. The Browns selected Chubb in the 2018 NFL Draft, and he made a significant impact in his rookie season with 1,145 total yards and 10 touchdowns.
His best season came in 2022, when he rushed for 1,525 yards and 12 touchdowns. Despite suffering a severe knee injury in the 2023 season, Chubb made a remarkable comeback and returned to action in 2024. Andrew Berry, the Browns' executive vice president of football operations and general manager, praised Chubb's resilience and dedication to the team.
He emphasized that Chubb's return has left an indelible mark on Cleveland fans, who fondly remember him as the premier running back in the league during his prime.
