Ourlads' Profile:

2021 Guide: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about CHUBA HUBBARD: Oklahoma State, 6002 208 4.51. Junior entry, three-year starter, Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada. Got his first real action when current NFL running back Justice Hill went down with an injury in 2017. Ended his career with two straight All Big 12 honors. He broke out of his shell in 2019, where he earned first-team All America honors and won the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year Award. Led the nation with 2,094 rushing yards and was a finalist for the Doak Walker Award. His 2020 season did not go as well, as he fought through a lower body injury in the shortened season and his per-touch production decreased across the board. While the scheme and lack of quality defense in the Big 12 could have inflated his initial outlook, there is no denying the big play potential here. The former worldwide ranked 100 meter sprinter on the track shows elite level footwork, hip flow, and speed in space. Would be an ideal fit for a zone-heavy rushing scheme. A smooth and efficient mover whether it is downhill or lateral. Such natural and easy cuts that end with an elite level of burst and long speed. A big play back that can break off the deep runs and run away from all defenders. Moves with uncanny control and balance while moving at his top rate, making it likely he will break through initial contact and gain extra yards. Can cut, juke, and spin while moving at full speed. Capable of turning nothing into something. Displays good cutback vision and is a sound decision maker, knowing when to put his head down for the sure yards. Had significant fumble issues early in his career. His aggression and toughness can be rightfully questioned. Will run soft at times. Inconsistent contributions as a receiver and blocker. Needs to clean up his ball skills, both as a handler and pass catcher. Has a slender frame that lacks true power, girth, and strength beneath the waist. 2020 stats: 625 yds, 4.7 ypc, 5 TD, 8 rec, 52 yds, 6.5 ypr, 1 TD. Fourth/fifth round. (A-32, H-9, BP-20, SS-4.30).
