I am certain this will be a subject for another thread, but one guy I am really looking forward to having a big day is Hubbard.
Sam was trending on a certain trajectory before last year's injury and dearth of surrounding talent. I think he is the best kept secret on our defense and he is ready to have a massive season. He will have a ton of family at the game, and he just signed a nice contract. He is one of the leaders on the team and was recently named a Captain.
Hendrickson may have the more favorable matchup, but Sam Hubbard is my guy to watch this week.
Yeah, we all know Hubbard is a beast against the run. He said he spent the off season working on pass rushing, so I am looking forward to seeing how much he improved that part of his game. He's a hard worker, so I'm really looking forward to seeing the results. He will be helped by an interior line that actually gets pressure as well since Ogunjobi is in there now instead of Geno (that really hurt to type, I know Geno was trying to play through injury last year)
