One of Georgia football ’s all-time great running backs is retiring from the NFL.
Nick Chubb took to Instagram on Friday night Aug. 21 and announced he’s walking away from the game after eight seasons as a pro.
“I’ve known for some time now, but I’m finally ready to share that I’m done playing football,” Chubb wrote in a lengthy post. “I wanted to end my career on a healthy note, along with a winning season, and I was able to do that.”
Chubb was a second-round pick by the Cleveland Browns with the No. 35 overall selection in the 2018 draft after rushing for 4,769 yards from 2014-17 for Georgia . That’s second most behind Herschel Walker in program history.
Chubb rushed for 7,349 yards and 54 touchdowns in his career, all but one in Cleveland. He finished in 2025 with the Houston Texans, rushing for 506 yards.
“At the beginning of this journey, I made many promises to myself,” he wrote. “The #1 promise I made was that I would always stay true to who I am and never forget the things that made me, me. That promise meant always being the hardest working person, no matter where I was or what the circumstances were.”
