2019 could be a huge season for Matt Feiler. He has, so far, charted a course that bears a lot of similarities to Chris Hubbard, but also differs in a couple of keys ways. For one thing, Feiler toiled for three years on practice squads, while Hubbard had one.
But most significant is that Feiler’s big break for playing time game in year two of his accrued seasons, rather than year four. Which means that Hubbard hit free agency at just the right time to cash in and sign a lucrative starting contract with the Cleveland Browns.
