Injuries:

Aside from the major knee injury that he suffered, Chubb has worked his way through quite a few lower leg injuries during his time in Athens. Injuries will be a red flag for Chubb, and he will need to pass his medical checks with a clean bill of health.

Take a look at an example:

Top End/Break Away Speed:

Chubb lacks top end speed, and won’t consistently pull away from NFL level competition. While his speed shouldn’t hinder him too much at the next level, it won’t be his calling card either. There are several times on film where Chubb is tackled for a loss, or a short gain, because he lacks the speed to turn the edge.
