Chubb on self-promotion: 'Ever seen a Lamborghini commercial?'
Georgia running back Nick Chubb is among the early favorites for the Heisman Trophy this season, but that doesn't mean he's going out of his way to promote himself for it.
In fact, it's just the opposite, as Georgia offensive lineman Hunter Long pointed out Sunday on Twitter.
Me "why don't you ever tweet or Instagram?" Chubb "You ever seen a Lamborghini commercial. don't gotta advertise." ?? @NickChubb21

Long posted the following tweet after an exchange with Chubb, who has posted only once -- a Mother's Day message to his mom -- on either Twitter or Instagram over the past two-plus months:
While Chubb might be more accurately compared to a Humvee than a Lamborghini in terms of running style, the logic seems sound.
And ironically enough, the lack of self-promotion might actually be a surprisingly effective form of self-promotion for Chubb, who is tied for third in betting site 5Dimes' early Heisman odds at 8-1 (behind Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott at 6-1 and TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin at 7-1).
