Denver Broncos outside linebacker Bradley Chubb was named a Pro Bowl alternate as a rookie but he didn’t end up reaching the All-Star game. Chubb has received some recognition for his 2018 season, though, as players have voted him among the Top 100 in the league.
NFL Network is rolling out their annual NFL Top 100 list — as voted on by players — and Chubb came in ranked No. 82 on Tuesday evening.
Denver selected Chubb with the fifth overall pick in last year’s NFL draft and paired him with superstar edge defender Von Miller. Chubb and Miller combined to record 26.5 sacks in their first season together.
“He’s a great talent,” Miller said of his teammate in NFL Network’s spot on Chubb. “I was there on the field with him for every single sack that he got — he’s a big-time rusher on the other side. He definitely takes some of the pressure off of me.”
Chubb will be looking to earn his first Pro Bowl nod in 2019.
