He was recognized with a Pro Bowl selection in 2022 and received the team's Nat Moore Community Service Award in 2023. Additionally, Chubb was voted as a team captain in 2025 and was nominated for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award. Prior to joining Miami, Chubb had played for the Denver Broncos from 2018 to 2022 before being traded to the Dolphins in 2022. He was originally drafted by the Broncos as the fifth overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft after a successful college career at North Carolina State.
