He doesn't seem to be that big a factor in the NFL

No and he probably won't ever be a 'bust'. But he may never be better than an average/slightly above average back.

He just has bad feet, has to sit on the bench a lot.

I drafted him in 2 fantasy leagues. I was quite disappointed with his behavior on the field getting him suspended. Then he was just shite for several weeks. Also injured several others. He only had a hand full of good quality games.

Pretty sad when a grown arse man who gets paid millions of dollars can't control his temper and gets sent home from work.

So far, yes. Is that what you wanted to hear? He's apparently a shitty teammate which started his last year at LSU. That's what happens when people have been telling you you're a generational back since you were 14.

So you're saying he's arrogant? But I thought everyone said he was so humble during the Heisman campaign?

What is your opinion of Nick Chubb in the NFL so far?

Looks like Derrick Henry is a better back so far.

He was arrogant at LSU too. Just not "I have millions in the bank" arrogant.

Absolutely. He reminds me so much of Brandon Jacobs.

He generally does do a lot of good charitable type work off the field, and that's why he got that rep in college (the USC jersey auction, for instance). That hasn't really changed to my knowledge. But, with that said, money has a way of changing people. Add 8 zeros to that to a player who already had been put on a pedestal as a freshman in high school, welp...

I hate seeing it and hope someone talks some sense into him about being a professional, but it's not all that unusual for players with inflated egos to flame out. Fortunately, he's still young but he needs to get his shite together for sure.

no, he's played 2 years.

First year he was very good, 2nd not so much.

Lets see what he does 3 and 4.

shiny hook, but I'll bite. Henry was extremely average or below average until the second half of his third season in the league. Living in Nashville, Titans fans were plenty frustrated with his play until he had that huge game on MNF

He was a bust at LSU.

No Championships. No Heisman's. 0-3 vs Alabama. No nothing.

I wouldn't call him one yet, but he sure wasn't a home run pick.
