Despite becoming one of the Southeastern Conference's all-time great running backs during his four years at Georgia, USA Today writes Nick Chubb still has something to prove at the NFL combine.

Chubb’s 4,769 rushing yards are second-most in SEC history behind Herschel Walker’s 5,259 yards. However, scouts still have questions over his versatility and if he has fully recovered from a gruesome knee injury he suffered back in 2015.

“But even though his savvy as a one-cut runner should earn him more than a few fans, teams will want to see how his change of direction and long speed stack up to the elite backs in the class,” USA Today’s Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz wrote.
