Jerome Ford Says Kareem Hunt Filled Nick Chubb’s Locker Room Void, ‘Brought The Juice’

Jerome Ford says Kareem Hunt deserves big-time props for serving to the Browns preserve issues collectively following Nick Chubb‘s devastating harm … telling TMZ Sports activities the man “brought the juice back” after Cleveland’s star RB went down.

Ford went in-depth with us on the state of the Browns earlier this week following the workforce’s massive win over the Ravens … and he made it clear to us that Hunt has performed an enormous function in Cleveland retaining the wheels on regardless of the lack of Chubb — each on and off the sector.

“When Nick left,” Ford stated, “it left a gap in the running back room. And Kareem came in and — I really don’t know how to explain it other than to say that he brought the juice back.”

You will recall, after Chubb tore up his knee in opposition to the Steelers on Sept. 18 … Cleveland turned to Hunt on Sept. 20 to bolster its RB corps.

And, in keeping with Ford, the roster transfer modified every little thing.

“He came in, joking and playing,” Ford stated. “And he gave us the juice that we needed to kind of, like, ‘Yeah, Nick’s down, but we gotta keep pushing.'”

The Browns are 5-2 since Hunt joined the squad … and in these seven contests, he is scored six whole touchdowns.

Ford says Chubb, in the meantime, is doing effectively in his restoration … and serving to out at any time when he can.
