Best Track & Field Picks For Your Fantasy Football Draft

Round 13 - Chuba Hubbard (RB, Carolina Panthers)

Before he went to Oklahoma State to pursue his football career, Chuba Hubbard was a star on the track out of Canada.  In 2015 Hubbard represented Canada at the IAAF World Youth Championships where he'd place 5th in the Finals running 10.60 (-0.4) and 3rd in the Semi-Finals where he ran his personal best of 10.55 (-0.2).  Hubbard had just turned 16 ahead of the World Youth Championships, so this was ahead of his sophomore year of High School. Hubbard also held a personal best of 22.68 in the 200m in 2017 before shifting his focus to the Football field.

Round 14 - Jaylen Wright (Miami Dolphins)

Jaylen Wright was the NCHSAA 3A 55m State Champion as a sophomore in 2019 running 6.35 setting the NCHSAA 3A State Championship record.  As a junior, Wright would run 6.25 for the 55m Dash in January and finished the year ranked US No. 2 in the event before COVID shut down the Indoor and Outdoor season. Wright would enroll early to play football at the University of Tennessee, so we didn't get to see him back on the track in 2021.  Wright held an Indoor 200m personal best of 21.98 and ran 10.84 and 21.84 Outdoors.
