Since arriving in Cleveland, Browns running back Nick Chubb has been a favorite of the franchise’s loyal fanbase.
After suffering a season-ending injury last year, fans anxiously awaited the player known as “Batman” to return to Cleveland and help the Browns improve their offense.
While Chubb was unable to return immediately to his pre-injury form, the running back showed glimpses of his former self just before a broken foot cost him the remainder of the season.
Despite his disappointing 2024 season, fans were ready to celebrate a special day for Chubb on Friday, joining the Browns’ organization in wishing him a happy birthday.

In 2018, Chubb came to Cleveland after helping the Georiga Bulldogs reach the national championship game the previous season.
The Browns drafted Chubb in the second round of the draft, and he immediately produced for his NFL franchise.
Chubb ran for 996 yards in the 2018 campaign, and the running back achieved at least 1,000 rushing yards each season over the next four years.
