Considering they played on the same team at the same time, I wouldn't call him, "modern-day," .

But he's better than MJ; MJ was a good run defender, but that was more instinct and using his reach/athleticism to stop the run. When it came to setting the edge/moving laterally, Dunlap was better with his legs tied together (obviously hyperbole, but just shedding light).

*knocks on wood* how many gashing runs have you seen to Hubbard's side in the past 2 years? If anything, he's gotten more TFL than big, outside runs given up.

When it comes to pass rushing, I think it's about even, but do keep in mind that MJ had the one outlier season, where he got 4 sacks in a game and 11.5 on the year. Hubbard gets a bit more per game, sack-wise (and pressures, they're also about the same).

MJ: 44.5 sacks in 155 games = 1 sack every 3.48 games.
Hubbard: 22.5 sacks in 54 games = 1 sack every 2.4 games.
