ESPN's Matt Bowen recently published an article discussing the “Best NFL team fits for 14 free agents.” Here’s what he argued in favor of Nick Chubb to the Cowboys: “A veteran grinder at this point of his career, Chubb could provide value as the Cowboys' No. 2 or No. 3 option behind starter Javonte Williams. Chubb can still secure catches on swings and checkdowns in the passing game, but he should be viewed as an early-down option who can use his power and vision in short-yardage situations. He rushed for 520 yards in Houston last season.” Nick Chubb stats - Advanced metrics for the 48 qualifying RBs: - RYOE/Att: +0.5 (23rd) - YAC/Carry: 3.3 (28th) - EPA/Carry: -0.14 (39th) - Explosive runs: 9 (45th) - Success rate: 34.4% (46th) Agree or disagree with Cowboys Report host Tom Downey by commenting on today's video: - Would you sign Nick Chubb?
