Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb is a genetic freak. The 26-year-old is known for his tough, hard running style on the field.

It usually takes players years to build up their strength in the gym and for running backs, given the nature of the position, strength is key. What's good for Chubb is that he has strength in abundance.

This was on show in a video that made its way around social media in which Chubb could be seen squatting 600 pounds (272kg). In a video posted on Barstool Sports' Twitter page, Chubb can be seen performing the exercise twice with relative ease. Watch below.

Fans can see just how much pressure is on the bar by the amount it bent.

Cleveland will rely heavily on Nick Chubb in 2022

For most NFL teams, having a good run game is the key to success. For the Browns, it is absolutely essential.

Nick Chubb has been in the league for four seasons and has gone past the 1,000-yard mark three times. The only time he did not was during his rookie season in 2018 in which he finished with 996 rushing yards.

His power and elusiveness make him a nightmare for opposing defenders to tackle as every time he touches the ball, there is a chance of a housecall.

In 2022, the Browns could lean heavily on Chubb. With Deshaun Watson's playing future still up in the air due to a potential suspension, the 26-year-old running back could feature prominently for the AFC franchise.

The former Georgia Bulldog had 228 rush attempts last season, the second-highest tally of his career. One would think that he would need to at least match that in 2022 if the Browns are to make it out of their division.

He has made it to the Pro Bowl in consecutive seasons and will be the bellcow again for the Browns.
