Why does Zac Taylor even use Hubbard there?

"Hubbard is a heck of an athlete"

Hubbard 6'5" 265 ran a 4.91 40 at the combine (he's way slower now)

Sample is 6'5" 260 and ran a 4.71 at the combine.

I wouldn't even label Sample as a heck of an athlete, so why exactly is an older / washed up Hubbard a heck of an athlete? 

You don't think that TD catch wasn't an athletic catch? Wake me up the 1st/next time Sample catches a ball and gets more than 3-4 yards at the most. He's a pile of bricks on a pallet the way he moves. 

Hubbard was a heck of an athlete in HS, played Lacrosse and was an excellent S. Ain't easy to make the transition to DE at OSU and become an all conference player.
