The Bengals may have bolstered their pass rush in 2017 with the drafting of defensive end Jordan Willis and edge rusher Carl Lawson, but Hubbard proved too good to pass up with the No. 77 overall pick.

Hubbard knows what it's like to have to bide his time, beginning his Buckeyes career waiting his turn behind Joey Bosa. He will have to find a role being worked in behind Carlos Dunlap and Michael Johnson, along with edge rushers Jordan Willis and Carl Lawson.
