Nick Chubb announced his NFL retirement on Friday at age 30 after a 12-year career with the Cleveland Browns and Houston Texans. The former Pro Bowl running back was drafted in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft and was one of the top running backs in football early in his career, rushing for at least eight touchdowns in each of his first five seasons and making four Pro Bowls. His best season came in 2022 when he rushed for a career-high 1,525 yards and scored 13 total touchdowns. However, his career trajectory changed significantly after suffering a torn MCL and damaged ACL in Week 2 of 2023, which caused him to miss the rest of that season. He later broke his foot in December 2024. After returning from injuries, Chubb was not the same player, rushing for only six touchdowns and 838 yards across 23 games for the Browns and Texans combined. Chubb stated he wanted to end his career on a healthy note and with a winning season, which he was able to accomplish.

Chubb dealt with two significant knee injuries during his career—one at age 19 in college and another at age 28 in the NFL. He reflected that the second injury at 28 was psychologically different; at 19 he was young and naive about the extent of the injury, which helped him bounce back, but at 28 he understood the long-term implications for his life after football, ultimately influencing his decision to retire on a healthy note.

Happy retirement Nick Chubb! Came back from devastating college knee injury to ball the hell out for better part of his eight year career. Once had a 3-105-2 game. The answer to the best pure runner in the game for a solid half decade and made the Browns offense worth watching 🫡
