Chubb is a Miami Dolphins Player
Unless you slept through yesterday, you know that the Miami Dolphins made a couple of trades. Yes, Bradley Chubb and Jeff Wilson are now both Dolphins. Chase Edmonds is now a member of the Denver Broncos. Read here to see what Miami had to give up for the newest members of the team. This article is all about the new defensive star. A new blog will be written on Wilson.
Chubb Notes:
Chubb was drafted by the Broncos in 2018 with the 5th overall pick of the draft. The high draft pick quickly showed his value in his rookie season. Yes, right out of the gates the rookie showed that he could play at a high level in the NFL. He recorded 12.5 sacks in his rookie campaign. Injuries have been the only thing that has slowed the 26-year-old edge rusher. Heading into this season, he has missed games every year other than his rookie season.
This year, he has played every game for the Broncos. Chubb is once again getting to opposing quarterbacks. He currently has 5.5 sacks after 8 games. You can add two forced fumbles to his 2022 numbers as well. Chubb has been credited with 15 solo tackles this season according to Pro Football Reference.
Chubb earned his high draft status while attending North Carolina State. In 2017, Chubb was named ACC Defensive Player of the Year. He also was a consensus 2017 All-American. He won two prestigious awards in 2017. After his final season at NC State, he earned the Ted Hendricks Award for defensive end of the year. Yet, that was not all. The 2017 Bronko Nagurski Award is also in Chubb’s trophy case. The Bronko Nagurski Award is awarded to the player named the most outstanding defensive player of the year in the college ranks.
Miami Dolphins GM Chris Grier Speaks to the Media
Miami Dolphins General Manager Chris Grier met with the media today to discuss the trades. On Chubb and talks with Denver,
“He’s a 26-year-old, a player at a premium position, a very good football player. We had some very casual conversations a couple of weeks ago about it, but probably until like the last couple of days, when they (Denver) got back from London, things really heated up.”
In case you missed it, here is Grier speaking with the media on the Chubb Trade as well as Wilson.
On a side note, Chubb will wear #2 for the Dolphins. He was number #55 in Denver, but Jerome Baker wears that number for Miami. Tell Dolphins Thirsty how you
