Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard took to social media on Wednesday afternoon and announced his retirement from the NFL.
Here's a look at what the 29-year-old wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter), relaying the news:
Dubbed "The Cincinnati Kid," Hubbard grew up in Cincy before attending Ohio State from 2014 to '17. Following a 17-sack career with the Buckeyes, he was drafted by the Bengals with the 77th pick in the 2018 NFL draft, and spent his eight-year NFL stint in the city he was raised in.
Leaving the game at just 29 years old, Hubbard finishes his career with 398 total tackles, 38.5 sacks, six forced fumbles, 16 passes defensed and one interception.
