Chubb announced his retirement from the NFL on Friday, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
Chubb, a second-round selection of the Browns in the 2018 NFL Draft, has elected to hang up his cleats following eight seasons in the NFL. He rushed for over 1,000 yards in four consecutive seasons from 2019 to 2022, which earned him a Pro Bowl nod in each of those campaigns and a spot on the All-Pro Second Team in 2019. Chubb's 2023 campaign was brutally cut short by an ACL, MCL and meniscus tear in his left knee, and while he recovered enough to suit up for eight regular-season games the following year, he could not recapture the same explosiveness that made him one of the standout running backs in the league. Chubb spent the first seven years of his NFL career with the Browns before playing in 15 regular-season games for the Texans in 2025. He'll end his professional career with 7,349 rushing yards and 54 touchdowns on 1,462 carries (5.0 YPC) along with 141 catches (on 193 targets) for 1,109 yards and five scores over 100 regular-season games.
