Hubbard’s pro football career with the Green Bay Packers spanned the five seasons from 1929-1933 and also 1935. He had retired in 1934, but was persuaded to come back in 1935.
Defensive tackle Hubbard also spent time with the New York Giants and played one game for the Pittsburgh Steelers (although that Pennsylvania franchise was actually named the Pirates at the time – the same as the city’s major league baseball team).
After playing an away game in Green Bay while with the Giants in 1928, the big-city-averse Hubbard requested, and was granted, a trade to the Packers.
