Bradley Chubb: It “would be crazy” to play alongside Von Miller

Bradley Chubb is going to be a top pick in the NFL Draft in a few weeks. He says it would be “crazy to play with Von Miller on the Denver Broncos…

Former North Carolina State defensive end Bradley Chubb would be thrilled if he had the chance to play with Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller.

The Broncos defense is one of the best in the National Football League. Chubb is going to be a high pick in this month’s draft. There’s even a chance that Chubb is drafted by the Broncos fifth overall.

The defensive star was interviewed on the Rich Eisen Show today and was enthusiastic about the idea of becoming a teammate of the Broncos three-time first-team  all-pro linebacker.

In four years at North Carolina State, Chubb reached ten sacks twice. During the two seasons he eclipsed ten sacks, he played 25 games combined. In his first season, he generated zero sacks while playing in just two games. In his second season, he had five sacks in thirteen games.

One statistic in particular that is extremely important, especially for a defensive lineman, is forced fumbles. Chubb had a total of six forced fumbles in his four years. He had zero in his freshman year.

With the fifth pick in Denver’s possession, there are a lot of players to consider with the selection. If Chubb is on the board when the Broncos are on the clock, they would be making a great decision by taking him, despite their needs at other positions. In the first round of the draft, teams usually go by the BPA method (Best Player Available).

As it stands right now, the current starters at defensive end for the Broncos are Derek Wolfe and Adam Gotsis. The addition of Chubb would be great in regards to their rotation process. Zach Kerr and Shelby Harris are also in the mix at the position.

Defensive end is not a major need for Denver. The big question is the health of Wolfe. Wolfe sustained a neck injury last season. That type of injury can potentially end a career, but Wolfe has said in the past that he doesn’t plan on calling it quits.

Based on what Chubb said to Eisen, it sounds like he would be all-in if he wound up with the Broncos. It is always a good sign when a player is happy to go play for a team. It’s even better that he would want to join forces with one of the best linebackers in the league.

the presence of Chubb on the defensive line could potentially make Miller’s job easier, and vice versa. That means that the already-dominant players could become all-time greats in one of the most difficult sports.
