Gyms Will Remain Closed Until Nick Chubb Returns All The Plates From His Squat Bar

Fantasy Football Owners: Keep your sights on Nick Chubb, who in his first two seasons with the Browns is producing Jim Brown numbers in that same period.

And with the addition of ground-game-committed new head coach Kevin Stefanski, the 24-year-old is primed to have a 2020 season (pandemic permitting) that eclipsed his rock solid season from a year ago (1,494 yards, 8 TDs). Not bad for a guy who had fewer than 20 carries in each of Cleveland’s final five games, a span in which the Browns went 1-4.

The Georgia product is doing everything in his power to steal the rushing title away from Derrick Henry, and that includes squatting what appears to be the weight of four 2016 Joe Thomas’s.

Six plates per side, assuming they are 45 lbs. each, that amounts to 585 lbs.

This is child’s play for Chubb, who in 2014 when he was just 18, set the state power clean record in the state of Georgia by lifting 395 pounds. Chubb also squatted 645 pounds and benched 390. Yes, you read all of those numbers correctly.

Here Chubb is at Georgia in 2017 casually squatting 600.

Just last week:

This dude is going to be a problem in the league for a long time.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to do a 30-second wall sit and then whine about the soreness for four days.
