    Strengths:

    He was elected a captain in two of the three seasons he started for the Demon Deacons. His production is something that strikes you seeing as he recorded 216 total tackles in two years. Has the toughness that you look for in an NFL linebacker. Good run stopper, good in pursuit.

    Great interior pass rusher. Smart enough to run and understand a complex defensive scheme or plan. Great sideline to sideline ability, keeps his head on a swivel.

    Weaknesses:

    Needs to work on pass coverage. Didn’t make enough of an impression to get an invite to the combine or Senior Bowl. Speed isn’t the best, but will be enough to get the job done. A little bit short for an edge rusher, questions about size will be there.

    Overview:

    Chubb is a relatively unknown prospect considering much of his work went unheralded for an irrelevant program. He has the production, and ability to get sideline to sideline and rush the passer which creates intrigue. He can be a solid pass rushing specialist in the short-term, and should be drafted in the middle rounds.
