Cleveland Browns call beloved running back Nick Chubb "Batman" because he has taken on a superhero-like quality since joining the Browns in 2018. 

He is the heart and soul of the Browns roster. Fans were devastated when he suffered a season-ending knee injury in September 2023.  The injury required multiple surgeries and a fuzzy timeline for return with some estimates of a mid-2024 season return as likely.

Chubb's latest gym video fuels fans' excitement that he is progressing on the road to recovery at an alarming rate.  He is known for his off-season superhuman weight-lifting videos, but no one expected to see them this year.

This video raises the realistic and intriguing question of whether Chubb could be ready for Week 1.
