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.

Sam Hubbard is relentless.  He may not be flashy and get the highlight speed rush to the outside in garbage time, but he is a constant force and he should have been credited with a sack of Lawrence on a read-option where he stayed home and Lawrence basically tackled himself.  You could tell he was surprised that Hubbard didn't fall for it.  He lost one yard on the play.  Should have been a sack.  If he is awarded with a sack, every rating for him shoots up like 20 points.  The bottom line is, he forced a huge play on defense, whether he was credited with a sack or not.
