Former Georgia Bulldogs running back Nick Chubb has a strong message for the NFL as the league's free agency period approaches.

For many years, Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb was one of the NFL's most revered ball carriers and had been routinely listed as one of the most dominant players in the league. His rushing reign of terror came to a screeching halt early into the Browns' 2023 season, however, as he suffered a devastating knee injury that would sideline him for the remainder of the year.

Despite the massive setback, Chubb's work ethic and no-nonsense attitude allowed him to return in the 2024 season. Unfortunately, his comeback would be short-lived as he would suffer another injury. This time a broken foot in week 15 that would once again, cut his season short.

The back-to-back season-ending injuries and progressing age of the running back have put Chubb's future with the Browns in limbo as the NFL free agency period approaches. The Browns have not opted to extend his contract, but there are reports that the organization may still sign Chubb when the free agency period begins.

While the clock appears to be ticking on what has already been a fantastic career, Chubb has remained adamant that he is not yet done with the sport. The running back, who rarely makes public appearances took to social media to post a strong message about his future in the sport of football.

While the team in which Chubb will be playing for remains uncertain at the moment. The running back's dedication, passion for the sport, and self-belief have never been more clear.
