NFL network's Daniel Jeremiah does not consider Alabama redshirt junior OLB Adrian Hubbard a "dynamic pass rusher."
"Hubbard is strong at the point of attack," but he plays "too high, lacks twitch and stalls on bull rush," according to Jeremiah. Hubbard has continued to draw attention thanks to his frame and splash plays, but he needs to consistently generate pressure in order to be mentioned with other top edge rushers. Jun 19 - 10:34 AM

Adrian Hubbard - LB - Crimson Tide

Scouts Inc.'s Todd McShay believes Alabama redshirt junior OLB Adrian Hubbard lacks elite quickness off the edge.

Hubbard "plays high, lacks elite 1st step and suddeness," according to McShay. He added the pass rusher is a smooth athlete with violent hands and is strong versus the run while displaying versatility. Hubbard never truly hit his stride last year and will need to take a big step forward in order to improve the Crimson Tide's pass rush.

Adrian Hubbard - LB - Crimson Tide

ESPN's Alex Scarborough believes there is "renewed optimism" surrounding Alabama redshirt sophomore OLB Adrian Hubbard.

Hubbard had a coming out party in last year's Spring game, and despite leading the team with seven sacks, the redshirt sophomore failed to reach expectations in 2012. Still, he ended the season with three solid performances, so that momentum could carry over into next year.

Redshirt sophomore OLB Adrian Hubbard was the only Alabama defensive player to record more than four sacks during the 2012 season.

Hubbard contemplated entering the 2013 NFL draft, but will return to the Crimson Tide as the team's top pass rusher. He finished with seven sacks last season, and one of Nick Saban's top priorities will be to find a complimentary pass rusher. Freshman Dee Liner has a chance to be that player.

Scouts Inc's Todd McShay was told Alabama redshirt sophomore OLB received a "favorable" grade from the NFL Draft Advisory Board.

Hubbard didn't make too big of a splash against Notre Dame, but the large pass rushing outside linebacker offers great length and size with some growing still left to do. We wouldn't be surprised to see Hubbard declare for April's Draft.

Adrian Hubbard - LB - Crimson Tide

Through two games, the Alabama defense has only registered two combined sacks, something they plan to change Saturday against Arkansas.

"We haven't really faced any teams that pass a lot. This week, if we execute what we do, you should see it," sophomore outside linebacker Adrian Hubbard said. He continues to play with a brace on his elbow due to a hyperextension suffered during the summer, but at Courtney Upshaw's old spot, Hubbard should be able to generate pressure from the edge.

Adrian Hubbard - LB - Crimson Tide

Alabama plans to use Adrian Hubbard and Xzavier Dickson as their starting 3-4 OLBs, despite both projecting to the "Jack" role.

The Jack linebacker has most recently been held by Courtney Upshaw and it is more of a designated pass rushing role. On the opposite side is the Sam backer, but head coach Nick Saban insists that his two best players will start despite their positions. Hubbard boasts a larger frame than Dickson but missed time in offseason workouts. Crimson Tide coaches have generated great success because they understand that conforming to your talent and putting playmakers in positions to win is more important than a set scheme.
