RALEIGH, N.C. -- Each day this summer, Bradley Chubb and B.J. Hill would stride into the weight room hoping to impress. Their racks were side by side, and before each set, Hill would peer over at his slightly smaller teammate on NC State's defensive line and grin.
"Hey Chubb," he'd say. "How much are you doing over there?"
The honest answer was that Chubb wasn't benching quite what Hill could do, a reasonable deficiency for a guy who weighs about 40 pounds less. But that didn't mean Chubb was willing to give up on the challenge, so each day he'd try to add a little more.
