Chuba Robert-Shamar Hubbard, a dynamic Canadian professional football running back, currently plays for the Carolina Panthers in the NFL. He first gained widespread acclaim during his college career at Oklahoma State, where in 2019, he was a unanimous All-American, Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, and Jon Cornish Trophy winner, leading the NCAA with an impressive 2,094 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns.

Hubbard's college tenure also included a notable incident in June 2020 when he threatened a team boycott over his coach's actions, before being selected by the Panthers in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL draft. Since making his professional debut, he stepped into a prominent starting role during the 2023 season, achieving 1,000 scrimmage yards for the first time in his NFL career. His consistent performance was recognized with a substantial four-year, $33.2 million contract extension from the Panthers on November 7, 2024.
