Like Jeudy, Bradley Chubb has been a frustrating player but that is mainly due to his lack of availability, the number one trait that a player needs to have.

Injuries have limited Chubb’s progress but when he is on the field and at 100 percent, he is a force and he is still technically the best pass-rusher on the roster.

Chubb will turn 26 years old in less than two weeks, so he barely even qualifies for this list and though 26 is not ancient for a professional football player, there is no doubt that the 2022 season will be an important one for the former first-round pick.

Chubb is also set to be an unrestricted free agent at season’s end and he is really going to need to impress unless he wants to be looking for a new team. But this list is based on talent and Chubb has plenty of that.

Chubb has 19.5 sacks for his career but all but one of those came in 2018 and 2020, the two seasons he played the most. He was on the field for just 11 total games in 2019 and 2021.

If Chubb can stay healthy, look for him to have a bounce-back year.
