Chubb has spent his entire seven-year NFL career with the Cleveland Browns, emerging as one of the league's premier running backs. From 2019 to 2022, he posted four straight 1,000-yard seasons, including a career-best 1,525 yards and 12 touchdowns in his last healthy campaign.

The Browns overhauled their running back room in this draft with second-round pick Quinshon Judkins out of Ohio State and fourth-rounder Dylan Sampson out of Tennessee, two of the picks from the blockbuster trade down from No. 2 to No. 5 with the Jaguars.

Browns running back Jerome Ford accepted a pay cut Friday, perhaps signaling the end of Nick Chubb's tenure, Cleveland.com reported.
