Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard has quietly become a driving force for the team’s offense this season. Known for his explosiveness on the field, Hubbard’s recent comments highlight his unwavering focus on building chemistry, cultivating confidence, and embracing challenges.
Building Chemistry in the Trenches
Hubbard gave immense credit to his offensive line, mentioning how new additions Damien Lewis and Robert Hunt have elevated the team’s energy. “To bring in those two guys that also loved [running the ball], just kind of formed the chemistry between all of them and just kind of put it all together,” Hubbard said. He didn’t shy away from praising the entire group, emphasizing their hard-nosed mentality. “I’m lucky to be able to run behind them and have that group.”
Creating Confidence Through Winning
For Hubbard, the team’s growing confidence is palpable. “When you win games, obviously that builds confidence,” he noted, acknowledging the Panthers’ quest to solidify their identity. Hubbard stressed that the journey isn’t quick or easy: “It’s not just going to happen overnight… it’s going to take the whole season.” Wins, however, serve as tangible proof of progress, giving the team even more reason to trust the process.
Embracing the Challenge of Greatness
With a matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs looming, Hubbard remains focused yet optimistic. “Obviously, [the Chiefs are] a great team… but we’re a hungry team as well,” he said. Reflecting on his personal goals, Hubbard added, “My main goal every single week is just getting this thing turned around and winning games.”
