SI: Bradley Chubb is #8 NFL Prospect & Future Franchise Player

Sports Illustrated updated their 2018 NFL draft big board yesterday, and also broke down who might be the next franchise NFL players, and in NC State’s Defensive End Bradley Chubb was a part of the conversation. They listed him as the #8 overall NFL prospect.

1. Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State
2. Minkah Fitzpatrick, DB, Alabama
3. Quenton Nelson, OG, Notre Dame
4. Sam Darnold, QB, USC
5. Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA
6. Derwin James, S, Florida State
7. Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson
8. Bradley Chubb, EDGE, N.C. State
9. Ronnie Harrison, S, Alabama
10. Denzel Ward, CB, Ohio State (SI)

Here is why they believe Chubb is a possible future NFL franchise player:

Bradley Chubb, EDGE, N.C. State: One team I spoke with considered the 275-pound edge rusher the premier senior prospect in the South back in the summer, and Chubb has only gotten better. He has posted 6.5 sacks in seven games as the Wolfpack have risen to 14th in the country. “Size. Motor. Competes. Sack production,” said one AFC college scouting director, when asked what he liked about Chubb. “He’s not as good as Myles Garrett, but would’ve been in the conversation to be the second best defensive end last year.” (SI)
