There is no question that he is a great athlete with plenty of upper body strength and power. Hitting a golf ball has to be much easier than escaping the grips of defensive players wanting to take him down. If the PGA happens to be in his future, that would be great.

His NFL career was filled with ups and downs, and the injuries took their toll. He was always a favorite in Cleveland. His work ethic, attitude, and determination were unparalleled.

Stefanski, now the Atlanta Falcons head coach, said : "I know I'm not supposed to have favorites, but he was my favorite. I always get that question from young kids: Who's your favorite player? And I know you're not supposed to say, kind of like you're not supposed to say who your favorite kid is, but I would always reply, Nick Chubb . He was a joy to coach."
