Former Georgia running back Nick Chubb has been a freak of an athlete all the way back to high school, when clips of a shredded monster hurtling down the track circled the web and got Bulldogs fans beyond excited about Chubb’s potential.

Not much has changed in the NFL.

Chubb is still capable of throwing around absurd amounts of weight, as he displayed recently on a video posted to his Instagram account. The video shows Chubb power cleaning what appears to be 455 pounds, an absurd lift for most humans.

Nick Chubb flings the weights seemingly effortlessly as a few people look on in the background, including one who is filming.

The Cleveland running back is coming off the best year of his career, so it’s not surprising that he remains in absolutely incredible shape. He finished the year as the third-leading rusher in the NFL, tallying 1,525 yards on the ground.

He’s not just a one-trick pony, either.

Chubb has become increasingly adept at catching the ball out of the backfield, something that makes him a versatile threat. He had 27 catches for 239 yards and a touchdown last season, logging his second-most catches in a season.

In five years with the Browns, Chubb has recorded 6,341 yards and 48 touchdowns rushing. He’s also snagged 119 catches for 990 yards and four touchdowns receiving.

Chubb played at Georgia from 2014-17 before entering the NFL. He was named the SEC Freshman of the Year in 2014 after he ran for 1,547 yards and 14 touchdowns. That was just the start of a terrific career in Athens.

As a senior, Chubb helped Georgia reach the College Football Playoff national championship game, serving as one of the team’s captains. When Chubb’s Georgia career finally ended he had amassed 4,769 yards rushing with 44 touchdowns, while also catching 31 passes for 361 yards and four touchdowns.

Then, as now, Nick Chubb was quite capable of flinging weights — and opposing defenders — around with ease.
