  • Ohio State edge defender Sam Hubbard, a highly-regarded edge prospect for his ability to attack the passer, shouldn’t be overlooked for his impact on the run game, as he ranked No. 1 among returning Big Ten edge defenders in run stop percentage (10.8 percent) last season.
  • The Cincinnati, Oh. native saw the No. 3 ranked percentage of positively graded plays against the run among draft-eligible edge defenders in 2016.
  • Playing a career-high 232 run snaps last season, Hubbard posted the highest overall grade against the run among returning Big Ten edge defenders.
  • Hubbard led all draft-eligible edge defenders in the Big Ten with 31 total stops in 2016, 17 more than his total in 2015.
