Bradley Chubb

weaknesses

Pads tend to rise off the snap, losing point of attack leverage. Doesn't have elite get-off burst or edge speed to win the corner on pure athleticism alone, allowing offensive tackles to mirror him outside. Finds himself too far upfield often, taking himself out of the play. Deep defensive line rotation at N.C. State helped him stay fresh for all four quarters. Needs to eliminate the discipline lapses and avoid late, emotional hits. - Dane Brugler 11/28/17

in out view

Chubb isn't a quick-twitch speed demon off the edge who relies on athleticism alone, but he offers NFL-level acceleration and juice in his pursuit. He displays the combination of flexibility, length and hand use to consistently patch together an effective pass rush sequence, including insistent energy and power mid-rush to counter blockers. With his competitive make-up and diverse skill-set to defeat blocks in multiple ways, Chubb projects as an immediate NFL starter who will hold up vs. the run and find ways to disrupt the pocket - a top-10 player in the 2018 NFL Draft.

strengths

Has the look of a NFL defensive end with broad shoulders, filled out frame and the length to initiate contact. Long, efficient strides to run the arc and create a path around the corner. Uses bend, flexible hips and strong footwork to take sharp angles to the ballcarrier. Showcases his dominant arm to move blockers with brute power. Quick outside-in move, making himself skinny to work through tight spaces. Technically sound pass rusher, using his hands to work off contact and force offensive holding.

compares to

Chandler Jones, Arizona Cardinals – Although Chubb is more technically proficient coming out of college, the long strides, strong hands and relentless motor to the quarterback are reminiscent of Jones.

quick to process the backfield action, track the football and close on the ballcarrier - disciplined in his pursuit. gains outside leverage as a run defender to string out and contain runs, filtering the ballcarrier back inside. physical tackler and looks to bury his target with violence without sacrificing fundamentals.

Nonstop hustle when on the field, showing consistent effort - loves to talk and win the mental game through intimidation. Highly productive career as a three-year starter.
