Nick Chubb retires after achieving elite rushing milestones

Nick Chubb has announced his retirement from the NFL at the age of 29. He finishes his career as one of only four running backs in league history with over 1,000 carries and an average of more than five yards per carry. Over his career, Chubb ran for 7,349 yards on 1,462 attempts, averaging 5.03 yards per carry. His career was marked by a standout early performance, averaging over five yards per carry in each of his first six seasons, though a knee injury in 2023 impacted his later years.
