Cincinnati Bengals give DE Sam Hubbard a significant four-year extension

More:Exploring the extension markets for Bengals' Sam Hubbard and Jessie Bates

When the Cincinnati Bengals drafted defensive end Sam Hubbard in 2018, Marvin Lewis was still the team's head coach. Geno Atkins and Carl Lawson were the stars of the defensive line, and the Bengals were hoping Andy Dalton could lead the team back to the playoffs that season.

Over the following three years, nearly everything else has changed about the team. There's a new coach, a new quarterback and nearly an entirely new defense.

The constant has been Hubbard, who was rewarded with an extension on Sunday.
