Lots of hype, for sure, but lots to be excited about.
Dan Hoard had a nice interview with him on the most recent Bengals Booth Podcast.
Would have to be blind not to see that raw talent Ossai has.

Oh yeah, just track the guy and don't watch him actually win on the play. That is how it works.

I don't think Sam Hubbard's position is in any danger. Lol... certainly not in danger of being a DE who ran a 4.95 getting moved to OLB.
Don't understand what Hubbard's forty time has to do with Ossai, they are completely different types of players.
Although both can drop into coverage as Hubbard played Safety in High School.
We saw how good Hubbard can be in the AFC Championship. You don't take that guy off the field unless you need a splash
play from a guy like Ossai on passing downs. Still, they are really different players. Hubbard is a hard working, disciplined End
that will do whatever is asked of him. Ossai is just way more talented and yes, needs to stay healthy.

This says 4.89 unofficial at his Pro Day.
Either way, it's not modern day LB speed.
Hubbard isn't a LB.
