2. Nick Chubb, RB, Georgia

After a scary leg injury a couple of years ago, I was interested to see how Nick Chubb would perform at the Scouting Combine.

When he started posting all these great numbers, people on Twitter started posting numbers he put up in athletic testing back in his senior year of high school.

First of all, that was a few years ago, and second of all, he hadn’t suffered a major leg injury in college at that point either.

Chubb will go down as one of the best backs in Georgia history, and he also really opened eyes with his athletic performance on Friday.

He ran a 4.53 second 40-yard dash at 227 pounds, and had a 38.5-inch vertical jump as well as 29 bench press reps. He also posted a 128-inch broad jump.
