The Broncos drafted Chubb with their top selection because they see a special talent. He will need to be extra special to beat out some of the premier edge-rushers that the AFC offers.

As long as he lives up to the hype Chubb will no doubt be a multiple time Pro Bowler in his career. But can he do it as a rookie?

Chubb has drawn some comparisons to fellow AFC West pass rusher Joey Bosa, but Bosa couldn’t accomplish the feat in year one. The likeliness of Chubb pulling it off seems low, but he does have an edge.

Not only is he one of the most talented pass rusher to come out in recent years, he also has the best pass rusher opposite him. As seen last year Von Miller will draw the attention of any offense Denver plays. Miller will get the majority of the double teams that will leave Chubb with a lot of one on ones.

In order to get the invite to Orlando in January, Chubb will need to get close to Jevon Kearse’s (14.5 sacks) rookie sack record. Pro Bowl or not, Chubb will be a huge part and focus of the Broncos 2018 season.

The question isn’t if he will make a Pro Bowl but more than likely when Chubb will.
