Former UGA running backs Nick Chubb and Sony Michel are off and running as they begin their careers in the NFL.

Both recently participated in minicamps and displayed some of the skills that helped them to become the duo with the most rushing yards in FBS history.

Chubb, now wearing No. 31, ran drills alongside veteran Carlos Hyde at Cleveland Browns’ minicamp last week.

Chubb also got some receiving reps with top draft pick and Rose Bowl rival Baker Mayfield.

Michel also showed off his receiving skills earlier this month with Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady.
