Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb weighs 227 pounds, but that doesn't slow him down. According to NFL Next Gen Stats, the second-year back is the fastest ball carrier through four weeks of play. He topped out at 21.95 MPH on an 88-yard touchdown scamper in Week 4.

On Chubb's 88-yard run, you'll notice one Baltimore Ravens defender give up: starting free safety Earl Thomas III. He did so because he didn't want to pull a hamstring trying to catch up to the speedy running back.
Not only did Chubb hit 21.95 MPH on the touchdown, but he also sustained 21+ MPH for 44.4 yards, from the Browns 33 yard line to the Ravens 21 yard line, per NFL Next Gen Stats

That's wildly impressive for a back that's often considered to be a power-orientated one. Chubb's outing on Sunday didn't just turn heads for his speed; he wound up tallying three touchdowns and 165 yards on 20 carries. In addition, he caught three balls for 18 yards.
