Over his first two seasons Hubbard had 14.5 sacks in only 1350 snaps. That is a very good ratio for a guy who was not just playing on passing downs. Only two players from the '18 draft have more sacks than Hubbards 18 (Harold Landry 21.5, Bradley Chubb 20.5). So Hubbard is not as weak at pass rush as many people claim.
He may not put up huge sack numbers, but he gets pressure and is elite against the run. He is absolutely worth what we paid him. Fans who don't look at any stat other than sacks would be very surprised at what Sam would have gotten on the free agent market.
