Nick Chubb comments on not being selected in first round of NFL Draft

For the first time in NFL history, three Bulldogs— Roquan Smith, Isaiah Wynn and Sony Michel— were selected in the first round of the NFL Draft and former Georgia running back Nick Chubb is fine with not being one of them.

In fact, he’s right where he likes to be.

In a post on Twitter early Friday morning, Chubb wrote, “I am where I need to be.. This is where I thrive.”

In four seasons at Georgia, Chubb rushed for 4,769 yards and 44 touchdowns and received for 361 yards and four touchdowns.

The second and third rounds of the 2018 NFL Draft begin at 7 p.m. Friday and can be watched on ESPN and the NFL Network.
