Nick Chubb has campaigned for another NFL chance through the offseason with impressive videos from the weight room and some thought he could have a potential suitor in the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

Nick Chubb looked every part of a top-five workhorse running back through the first five years of his career. All but one of those campaigns he finished with 1,000 yards with the lone miss coming in his rookie season when he had 996.<\/p>\n

A nasty leg injury ended his 2023 campaign after Week 2 and he has struggled to show he still possesses those same abilities. This ultimately led the\u00a0Cleveland Browns<\/a>\u00a0to part ways with him this offseason.<\/p>\n

Chubb has done his part in making himself more marketable to a new team, posting a number of videos from the weight room. Chubb’s physical gifts do not cease to impress, but does he have enough to convince another\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0team to give him a chance?<\/p>\n

Alex Buck of NFL Analysis believes the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>, given their history with veteran running backs, make the\u00a0ideal landing spot<\/a>\u00a0for Chubb ahead of next season.<\/p>\n

“Nick Chubb has been out to prove that he can still play at a high level, having fought his way back to fitness from a gruesome knee injury in 2023. He struggled in 2024, averaging just 3.3 yards per carry, but appears to have gotten some of his explosiveness back ready for a new season.<\/p>\n

“If he does get signed, it\u2019ll likely be a very minimal prove-it deal with a potential contender. Look no further than the Kansas City Chiefs, who are no strangers to rotating veteran running backs into the offense.”<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Houston Texans<\/a>\u00a0have jumped in here.<\/p>\n

Kansas City may not have been the best place for that experiment.<\/p>\n

Isiah Pacheco has the top spot on the depth chart locked up and behind him the Chiefs have enlisted two experienced backs already in Kareem Hunt and Elijah Mitchell. That goes without mention of late-round pick Brashard Smith who the team thinks of in a high regard.<\/p>\n

This is certainly not the flashiest backfield in the league but fits Andy Reid’s scheme. Now if Pacheco goes down again that changes the complexion of this position and perhaps some alternatives are explored.<\/p>\n

But does Houston need him as a Joe Mixon helper? So it seems \u2026<\/p>\n

And this point in the offseason, the Chiefs are not in need of any additions in this area, especially for a player who admittedly is not in very high demand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
