Posted by MagillaGuerilla online on 3/4/20 at 1:09 pm to TS1926 quote: I don’t think Adrian Hubbard was a highly regarded recruit. A 3 star. He was a consensus 4* by Scout, Rivals, and ESPN. He was one of those late finds that had his recruitment heat up near the end of the recruiting cycle. He was sold as a great athlete with a basketball background, even some fringe Jason Taylor comparisons due to his storkish frame. Definitely was some hype around him, but to be fair, Bama fans were also still in the "OMG, JACK LB" phase lol He had that 1 good year at Bama, then regressed. Declared early, against the advice of Saban and/or Lance Thompson(whom he hates with a passion), and then gets flagged for a heart abnormality and also character flaws at the Combine and goes undrafted.


Yeah I think he was the player an NFL scout commented had “a hyperinflated opinion of his abilities”.

I was hoping to see Hubbard gain some traction in the XFL after getting drafted, but seems he didn't make the team and there's not much to go on after that...
