WATCH: Former Georgia star Nick Chubb lifts absurd amount for running back
It just doesn’t seem fair.
A player of Nick Chubb’s size, stature and position shouldn’t be able to lift that much weight. Yet somehow, the 5-foot-11, 227-pound former Georgia running back manages to do it.
He takes 405 pounds and power cleans it like it’s just another day at the office.
#ChubbStrong #HomeGrown #AlwaysADawg Use whatever hashtag you want – the point is @NickChubb21 is ridiculous, and this 405lb power clean is just further proof.#ATD pic.twitter.com/3yFKg2wtM7

It may be a cliche by now, but perhaps only because it’s so true: Chubb truly is a human bowling ball on the football field.
His center of gravity is so low and his core seems so strong, the combination makes him really difficult to tackle. He also tied Penn State’s Saquon Barkley at the combine with 29 bench press reps for the most among running backs. There were plenty of offensive and defensive linemen who couldn’t hit that number.
Barkley is projected to be a top-5 pick in the 2018 draft.
Chubb’s draft profile on NFL.com projected him to go in the third or fourth round.
