One player or 2 sure.. But never all 4 games and all the starters on both sides of the ball. Common practice? My butt cheeks.

Chubb's rookie season is a bit misleading - because about 6-7 of his sacks were after the 3+ sec mark. He basically got coverage / high effort no-quit sacks. While I have issues with PFF's rating system because it doesn't account for competition faced (it assumes everyone is equal), I can see why they didn't rate him that highly compared to the other standout rookies. He was supposed to be a stalwart against the run in setting the edge (and I think he'll be that guy), but he wasn't special there, just OK. I expect that to improve, given his college tape & skill profile. Now we also faced a cream puff OL schedule last year (which actually should have driven his rating down even further). Don't get me wrong, he was solid - but there's no way he should have been in the same tier in RoY voting as Leonard, James, or even LVE/Ward. Nothing at all against him, but he was clearly a Robin to Von's Batman. At the same time, I don't think anyone can say he was disappointing at all, either, even with the top 5 draft capital spent. It just wasn't a difference-maker (not that he was supposed to be that type of guy), like a franchise QB on a rookie-level deal can bring. This offseason, though, it's already apparent Chubb has some extra spice to his game - he's beat a couple of LT's (backups, yes) with double-moves with 2.5 sec timed arrivals at the QB for sacks. The extra move is what he's learned from Miller. THAT is reason to be intrigued. If he can be a solo pass rush threat on his own, then the ceiling becomes special-player level. As it is, worst-case I see him more as a high-floor, very-good but not great talent ceiling. The high-floor means barring injury, he won't bust out like Solomon Thomas (to be fair, miscast as a DE in that scheme). It's just whether or not he'll be a franchise-fortune changer (which is unfair, but when you are in perennial search mode for a QB...that's the impact). The best comp I can give to him is a post-surgery Clowney like talent with high-motor traits - he's going to excel so long as he has a Watt/Miller/Mack type talent, as the 1B guy. If he can develop the 2nd move and hand-fighting ability to overcome his not-quite-elite burst, then he could be more than a post-surgery Clowney-ceiling. There's nothing wrong with that at all - but TBH, I still kinda wish we went after QB (Gettleman refusing to even take a phone call from Elway to trade back so we could snag Darnold still haunts us). I say that fully endorsing Rosen as one of those picks (wanted Darnold first & foremost, but was OK with Rosen after that), which the jury's still out on, and who knows what happens behind an OL that's not historically worst-in-league-and-most-other-years. But at least Chubb is making the 1.5 pick look good in a vacuum (1.6 Nelson looks like the steal of the top 10, though - such a special talent).
