Nick Chubb Announces Retirement After Eight NFL Seasons

Nick Chubb announced his retirement from professional football over the weekend, concluding an eight-season career in the NFL.

Chubb began his career with a strong performance, maintaining an average of at least 5.0 yards per carry during his first five seasons with the Cleveland Browns. However, a serious knee injury in early 2023 significantly impacted his playing time.

Kevin Stefanski, who coached Chubb for five years, praised him as a Hall of Fame player and person, highlighting his leadership and on-field abilities. Chubb finished his career with the Houston Texans, where he played 15 games in 2025, accumulating a total of 7,349 rushing yards and 54 touchdowns across 100 games.
