Despite competing on the field, running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt are great friends, and Hunt wants Hunt to stay with the Cleveland Browns more than anything.
Hunt, from the suburbs of Cleveland, had indicated earlier this summer that he would like to continue the adventure with the Browns, when he is due to complete the last season of his contract in 2022. However, it seems that he did not like the Browns’ extension offers since he would have changed his tune and asked for a trade recently.
Hunt has received significant support from Chubb, one of the league’s best carriers since being drafted in 2018.
“I think it’s really important [de garder Hunt], launched Chubb after training his team on Monday, according to remarks reported by the NFL Network. He’s my best friend, on and off the pitch. He’s a great person to be around. I can’t imagine playing without him. I want him here no matter what they do to keep him here. I want to play with Kareem.”
While Chubb has rushed for a whopping 1,259 yards in 14 games in 2021, scoring eight touchdowns, Hunt has been limited to 386 yards in eight games due to injury. He has two 1,000-yard rushing seasons since his NFL debut five years ago.
