Nick Chubb, Christian McCaffrey Lead Top 10 NFL RB Rankings by Coaches, Execs

After setting a career high with 1,525 rushing yards last season, Nick Chubb has been voted the best running back in the NFL entering the 2023 campaign.

In a survey of coaches, scouts, executives and players conducted by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Chubb finished first among all running backs, ahead San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey.

"I've always loved his game," one AFC executive said of Chubb. "He can carry the load, strong, has vision, great feet, not outstanding in the passing game but can do it. Just a damn good player. Not a make-you-miss guy but has power and instincts.
