Browns running back Nick Chubb laments the situation of ball carriers in the NFL, pointing out a problem unique to his position.

Nick Chubb of the Cleveland Browns has weighed in on the debate over low salaries for running backs.

The 27-year-old is a ball carrier himself and was asked about the situation by reporters on the sidelines of training camp on Sunday.

“Right now, there’s really nothing we can do,” Chubb is quoted as saying by “ESPN”. “We’re kind of handcuffed in this situation. “

Running back Nick Chubb: “That hurts “

Running backs are the only players who are punished for performing well, Chubb continued. “If we run for 2,000 yards in a season, they’re going to say you’re probably worn out next year. That’s tough. That hurts. “

As far as running backs are concerned, the NFL doesn’t ask, “What have you done for me lately?” Rather, he said, it’s about “What else can I expect from you tomorrow? “

Since the two superstars Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs could not agree on new long-term contracts with their teams, there has been a heated debate in the NFL about the value of the running backs.

In this context, the idea of setting up a fund to pay rookie ball carriers in particular according to their statistics has come up recently.
