Chubb in the draft...
I like to keep watch on the draft site Walter Football, as they have weekly updates of mock drafts, and nice scouting reports where they get info from GMs, coaches, personnel people, etc... One of their features is a weekly update of draft stock rising & falling. This week Chubb is in the stock falling category:
"Chubb hasn't been the same since coming off a knee injury, and the performance against Florida gave further proof of that. Throughout the first half, the Bulldogs struggled to move the ball on the ground, and Chubb was stuffed routinely. His legs were dying on contact, and he wasn't breaking tackles. Chubb had just 15 yards on seven carries by halftimre. He didn't find any more running room in the second half eiter, toting only three carries for five yards. Other than the season opener, Chubb (9-20) has been struggling this year, and that could send him to the second day of the 2017 NFL Draft instead of being a Thursday night selection."
I thought the legs "dying on contact" was an interesting phrase. Granted, we all know the problems with the OL, but Chubb sure hasn't seemed his old self either. I hope he has time to get back to form before the combine. Just FYI, that site has him in the middle of the 2nd round to the steelers.
