Bradley Chubb Getting Pro Bowl Buzz Heading into 2nd Season

Former NC State All-American Defensive End Bradley Chubb (now a Linebacker for the Denver Broncos) had a huge rookie season, and is now has Pro Bowl buzz surrounding him heading into his second year.

Chubb had 12 sacks in year 1, which broke Von Miller’s Bronco Rookie record, and 7th most ever by an NFL Rookie.

Marc Sessler predicted a player on each NFL team that could make their first Pro Bowl this year, and Chubb was his selection from the Broncos.

DENVER BRONCOS: Bradley Chubb, edge, second NFL season: Chubb lived up to his billing as a havoc-wreaking quarterback night-terror unleashed in unison with Denver’s Von Miller. His 12 sacks as a rookie included a midseason tear of 7.5 takedowns over a five-game stretch. Chubb and Miller remain the heart of this Broncos squad, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see both earn Pro Bowl honors this time around. “Spoiler alert … Both these guys have 20 sacks; it’s never been done before,” Peter Schrager of “Good Morning Football” predicted in May. “Two 20-sack guys, 40 sacks total.” Dream big!

Bucky Brooks ranked Chubb and Von Miller as the best pass rushing tandem in the NFL heading into the 2019 season.

1) Von Miller and Bradley Chubb, Denver Broncos: The thought of new head coach Vic Fangio creating pass-rush schemes for Miller and Chubb should lead to plenty of sleepless nights for offensive coordinators around the league. The wily defensive architect not only inherits a pair of pass rushers who have proven they can produce big numbers together (they combined for 26.5 sacks in 2018), but he gets to build his 3-4 defense with two elite edge rushers who have complementary games. Miller is the dynamic speed rusher with cat-like quickness and a dizzying array of rush moves that leave offensive tackles tied in knots. Chubb is a disruptive power rusher with heavy hands and a non-stop motor. He overwhelms blockers with his brute strength but also displays enough finesse to win consistently on the edges.
