Sam Hubbard is like many Cincinnati Bengals fans — he wants the team to make LSU’s Joe Burrow the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL draft.
Carlos Dunlap let slip earlier in Super Bowl week that Hubbard was down in Miami hanging out with Burrow.
Let’s just say Hubbard himself has now confirmed the idea.
“One of the best leaders I’ve ever been around,” Hubbard said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “Great guy. Love the way he carries himself. I’ve got a lot of respect for him. Believe me, I’ll vouch for his character. I’m campaigning hard.”
Per the writeup, Hubbard now calls Miami home so he can be closer to where he trains in the offseason. That Ohio State connection is especially strong with Burrow this week with so many people in town for the big game.
Hubbard, a rising star in his own right, would clealry like to reunite with Burrow on the Bengals. While the front office and coaching staff is adamant it’ll go through the whole pre-draft process before making a decision, is seems likely he’ll get his wish.
