The city of Atlanta was the focal point of the sporting world the past two weeks while hosting the Super Bowl. Most descended upon Atlanta with the intention of networking and partaking in Super Bowl festivities. Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb had other plans. Chubb, and former Atlanta Falcons running back Warrick Dunn, visited the Covenant House, which is a facility run by former NFL player James Thornton that is dedicated to fighting youth homelessness in Atlanta.

“You always hear about these things, but you never see it, actually walk through it,” Chubb said in an NFL video via WKYC.com.

“It’s definitely eye-opening to me just to actually see it in person and be around it. It’s incredible the things y’all do for the youth and helping out. We need someone like you guys and the organization that y’all have just to pull guys off the street and show them the right way. I’m just proud to be here right now to learn a lot from you guys and get a better understanding of it, so I can find my way into helping out.”

The Covenant House boasts having hosted more than 1 million boys and girls since opening its doors in 1972. The program serves more than 3,300 children in Atlanta.

"For more than four decades, Covenant House has helped transform and save the lives of more than a million homeless, runaway and trafficked young people. We offer housing and support services to young people in need – reaching 80,000 boys and girls every year."

Thornton acknowledged that children are afflicted by drug addiction. Chubb and Dunn made a donation to the Covenant House.

Among all Browns rookies in team history, Chubb finished the season with the most rushing yards, second most scrimmage yards (1,145), tied for the second most touchdowns (10) and tied for the third most rushing touchdowns (eight). He set the rookie franchise record for rushing yards with 997 yards. The No. 35 overall selection was named NFL Rookie of the Week twice this season. He was also named FedEx Ground Player of the Week.

In addition to his prowess as a runner, Chubb was able to show off his catching abilities more this season. He made some contested catches en route to finishing the season with 20 receptions for 149 yards and two touchdowns.

Cleveland traded veteran running back Carlos Hyde to the Jacksonville Jaguars during the season. Hyde had been signed during free agency. It opened the door for Chubb to take on an expanded role. He is the team's starting running back for the foreseeable future.
