After putting up 986 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns (total: 1,145 yards, 10 TDs) in his rookie year, the same year he became the fourth player in NFL history to break 100 rushing yards on three or fewer carries in a single game, Chubb went on to post four straight 1,000-yard seasons. [/p][p]He set a career-high in 2022 when he finished the season with 1,525 rushing yards and 13 total touchdowns (12 rushing), earning Second-Team All-Pro honors. In his first six years, Chubb finished each season averaging over 5.0 yards per carry. [/p][p]Then, in 2022, Chubb suffered a brutal left knee injury, tearing his MCL, damaging his meniscus, rupturing his medial capsule, and even needing a second surgery to repair his ACL. [/p][p]Since then, Chubb played in a total of 23 games between the 2024 and 2025 seasons. He played his final year with the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/houston-texans/SIj9q2Q7/"]Houston Texans[/a], in which he ran for 506 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games (nine starts). [/p][p]Chubb finishes his career with 7,349 rushing yards and 54 rushing touchdowns on 1,462 attempts (5.0 YPC) in exactly 100 games. [/p][embed guid="4c897003-ce83-41f2-8dc1-61f42fc58491" url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoL_1VpzfGE&pp=ygUObmZsIG5pY2sgY2h1YmI%3D" social-type="youtube" /][infobox id="20b251ad-200b-415c-a27c-559697b10377" /]
