Starting Cleveland Browns’ running back Nick Chubb made an appearance at his old high school, Cedartown High School in Georgia, and he put on a show in the weight room. However, this is not the first time he’s done something like this.
Back in May, a video was shared by the NFL Twitter account of Chubb squatting 675 pounds. But in a new video that was shared earlier this week, it showed the former Georgia Bulldog squatting 610 pounds with ease. And he didn’t do it just once, he did it twice.

And believe it or not, that’s not the only thing Chubb did. There was another video of Chubb attempting a power clean with what appeared to be 480 pounds. What’s even crazier is that he also did it twice.

When you look at how good Nick Chubb has been for the Browns, it all really starts to make sense. With Chubb’s strength, it’s no wonder that defenses have trouble getting him down. Even PFF says that Chubb is one of the most difficult players for a defense to deal with.
“Chubb hasn’t shouldered the same workload as some of the other names joining him atop this list, but he has a case as the best pure runner in the NFL since he was drafted in 2018. Over the last four seasons, Chubb ranks first among all qualifying running backs in PFF rushing grade (93.1), yards after contact per rushing attempt (4.1) and missed tackles forced per rushing attempt (0.25). Chubb is coming off a career-worst 80.6 PFF rushing grade in a 2021 season was marred by injuries, but there’s little reason to expect he won’t return as one of the NFL’s most difficult tackling assignments in 2022.”
As Micah Parsons pointed out, Chubb may not be the fastest running back, but he is definitely one of the strongest.
