The Cincinnati Bengals draft party for the 2020 NFL draft was always going to feature legends like Anthony Munoz and Boomer Esiason.
But it’ll also loop in Sam Hubbard — friend of one Joe Burrow.
Thursday, the Bengals announced plans for their draft party and made sure to mention Hubbard.
Fitting. Hubbard was hanging out with Burrow right after the college season ended. Hubbard admitted he was campaigning hard for Burrow to the Bengals. And reports said the Bengals had used the Hubbard connection to work on Burrow.
While the entire event should be a great time and Esiason being around for when the Bengals take their next franchise passer is exciting, it’s Hubbard’s presence that says it all — it’s Burrow time.
“It is in times like these when sports further highlight the amazing bonds in our community,” Bengals executive vice president Katie Blackburn said. “The Bengals look forward to celebrating this highly anticipated moment in team history as we look forward to the 2020 season.”
