The No. 5 overall pick recently paired with fellow rookie Courtland Sutton to perform a duet in front of the team.
”I messed up the lyrics a little bit Wil Lutz Jersey ,” Chubb said.
No big deal. They didn’t bring him in for his voice, just his voracious intensity. In that respect, he’s hitting all the right notes.
Chubb believes this group of pass rushers can create quite a bit of ”chaos” this season. The defense even has a scheme dubbed ”NASCAR” to take advantage of the speed and power of Chubb, Von Miller, Shane Ray and Shaquil Barrett. Simply put: It gets all of them on the field at the same time to wreak havoc.
”Now that will be dangerous,” Ray said. ”You can’t block any of us one-on-one. It would be too tough, especially if you have all four of us in the game. We have the guys to get a lot of sacks this year.”
Chubb was a surprise pick by the Broncos mainly because he wasn’t predicted to fall to them. Miller even posted his reaction on Instagram – complete with a scream.
So far, the 6-foot-4, 275-pound Chubb has been just as advertised through training camp.
”What we saw in college we’ve seen some out here,” coach Vance Joseph said. ”Watching him play versus NFL tackles and tight ends, it hasn’t been a setback for him. He’s a strong guy. He can set an edge. He can rush the passer.”
The pressure to produce out of the gate doesn’t faze Chubb in part because he has Miller & Co. next to him. The 22-year-old is all ears these days in meetings and on the field. He’s taking in every piece of advice offered to him to get up to speed.
”I just need to keep coming out and working,” said Chubb Robert Quinn Jersey , who had 26 sacks, 203 tackles and eight forced fumbles while at North Carolina State. ”Having a lot of rushers and a lot of good players who can get to the quarterback out there on the same field and at the same time, I feel like it’s going to be chaos.
”That’s what we’re trying to do, cause chaos.”
Chubb’s versatility allows defensive coordinator Joe Woods to get even more imaginative with his schemes. Woods plans to use Chubb at outside linebacker, defensive end and even drop him into coverage.
”It’s definitely a luxury,” Woods said.
About his singing: Turns out Sutton and Chubb elected to do a number together for their teammates. Sutton presented several songs and Chubb didn’t know any of them. Finally, they found common ground with ”Can You Stand the Rain,” a ballad by New Edition . It went rather smooth, outside of a few lapses on lyrics.
”We got a little standing ovation,” Sutton said.
Now on to the next rookie ritual: The funky haircut . The veterans get to have a little fun with the razor and trim the hair of the rookies. Or, if a rookie would rather, the eyebrow is always an option.
”I’m not looking forward to it Justin Tucker Jersey ,” Chubb said.
What he is looking forward to is rushing QBs.
”We’re all coming out here with the same mindset,” Chubb said. ”We all want to be great and we’re pushing each other to be great. When we’re all going, it’s going to be pretty special.”
NOTES: TE Jeff Heuerman and DB Su’a Cravens were held out of practice Wednesday with knee ailments. … TE Jake Butt didn’t participate in all the reps as he makes his way back from a knee injury. ”We’re just trying to be smart,” Joseph said…. The Broncos have a day off from training camp Thursday. ”We want those guys to stay off their feet and rest,” Joseph said. ”It’s not an off-day to go out and have a good time. We’re in training camp still.” … Asked about the ups and downs of backup QB Paxton Lynch’s career, offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave said: ”He’s young. What did they have, eight plays at Memphis?” … Ray is wrapping up his sore left wrist in thick tape for practice. He can’t put a percentage on how well it’s feeling. ”I got to go out there and do my best to figure things out,” Ray said. ”Just play with the cards that I have.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have lost their three-time Pro Bowl tight end at least for a big chunk of the season.
Quarterback Marcus Mariota is being evaluated after hurting his throwing arm, and two-time Pro Bowl left tackle Taylor Lewan is in the concussion protocol.
And that’s just the latest injuries for the Titans.
Now Tennessee has to see who’s healthy enough for the home opener Sunday against AFC South rival Houston (0-1) and adapt accordingly.
“What we’re going to do every week is try to figure out what gives us the best chance to win, personnel wise, who we have available Shaq Mason Jersey , maybe who we’re playing obviously,” rookie coach Mike Vrabel said Monday.
“We’ll be flexible enough to use any personnel that we think will help us win. I don’t think we can commit to anything right now.”
The Titans already are down starting right tackle Jack Conklin, who was inactive against Miami as he recovers from a torn left ACL repaired in January.
On defense, starting linebacker Derrick Morgan played only 14 snaps in the Titans’ 27-20 loss in Miami as the Titans work the veteran back in after a preseason injury.
Tennessee’s top two draft picks also are linebackers, and Rashaan Evans and Harold Landry both missed the opener with injuries.
Add to that the Titans are recovering from the league’s longest game since the NFL/AFL merger in 1970 because of two lightning delays that made the matchup in Miami last 7 hours, 8 minutes from the opening kickoff to the final second ticked off.
Morgan said it wasn’t easy warming up, cooling down again and again, but thinks the Titans learned some mental toughness from the day that wouldn’t end.
“Hopefully it never happens again and we never have to play football for eight hours straight,” Morgan said.
Mariota is being evaluated after he lost sensation in his right hand after the game from his injured right elbow. He was intercepted twice — both after taking a hit from Dolphins defensive lineman William Hayes following a handoff. Vrabel said they’re hopeful of getting a good report back on Mariota’s arm needing everybody that’s healthy and available.
Blaine Gabbert, signed this offseason, replaced Mariota and threw for 117 yards with an interception. The Titans do have rookie Logan Woodside on the practice squad, but will wait for a report on Mariota before deciding whether to add another quarterback.
Vrabel did say he told defensive coordinator Dean Pees to take note of how officials are handling quarterbacks carrying out a fake on a run-pass option.
“If that’s legal Cameron Erving Jersey , then we have to do it the same exact way,” Vrabel said.
Lewan was resting Monday. Asked about Dolphins lineman Andre Branch’s hit, Vrabel said it probably wasn’t dirty even if the coach thinks his left tackle “absolutely” was targeted.
The Titans put tight end Delanie Walker on injured reserve Monday and the tight end will have surgery on his right ankle in the next few days. Walker came into the season with the most catches in the NFL by a tight end between 2013 and 2017. He also has been Mariota’s favorite target, leading the team in receptions in two of the past three years.
Vrabel said the Titans will evaluate Walker’s potential to return this season after surgery. Jonnu Smith, a third-round pick out of Florida International in 2017, has 19 receptions and will be the first expected to fill in for Walker. Smith had talked to Walker and said the veteran was in good spirits.
“It is some big shoes to fill,” Smith said.
