Nick Chubb Is Squatting 540+ lbs. Less Than 8 Months After ACL Surgery. Are We Sure He's Human?

Are we sure that Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb isn’t an alien?

I’m not basing this question off the fact that he’s a 5’11", 227-pound menace out of the backfield. He might just be one of the best all-around athletes in the NFL, and when Chubb is healthy, I’m not sure that there’s a better pure running back on planet earth.

But even the most physically elite of human beings (aliens?) can suffer a horrific injury. On Monday Night Football in Week 2 of the 2023 season, Chubb suffered a nauseating injury against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Fair warning, this is NSFW:

If you heard a faint scream in the background, that was me wincing in pain watching that.

Chubb had to wait about two months before he could get surgery to repair his ACL, which was (unsurprisingly) torn in that collision. That in and of itself must have stunk. Could you imagine waiting almost 60 days to get something like that taken care of? Sheesh!

Fast-forward eight months, and he’s still recovering. If I were in Chubb’s shoes, I would still be in a leg brace and using crutches, begging for a chance for life to get back to normal (I’d also probably be doing a Lord of the Rings marathon for the seventh time).

But not Chubb. Less than eight months after getting surgery to repair a completely mangled ACL, he’s squatting over 540 pounds for two reps.

This is why I’m questioning whether or not he’s from Earth. His bio says he’s from Cedartown, GA, but I’m starting to think he might be from Krypton.

I mean seriously, I couldn’t squat 540 pounds for one rep with no knee problems. How in the world can this guy be doing this after tearing his ACL?

Chubb is expected to play in the 2024-25 NFL season. Opposing defenders better watch out, because he’s coming back with a vengeance.
