There’s no telling how Georgia’s season could have ended without Nick Chubb last year. The freshman running back picked up the team when Todd Gurley was suspended four games and then again when he was lost for the season to an ACL injury.

Chubb will be the expected go-to man in 2015, and with the load he shouldered last season, he’ll step into the role nicely.

A back with a low center of gravity and deceptive speed, Chubb has the ability to burst through the line, or hit the edge equally well. Look for him to be one of the early leaders in the Heisman race.
