The Green Bay Packers released outside linebacker Adrian Hubbard, who tried out for the team as an undrafted rookie free agent.
The Green Bay Packers tried out undrafted free agent Adrian Hubbard at outside linebacker, and he performed relatively well in the preseason. However, the Packers were unable to find room for him on the 53-man roster.
Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers, Nick Perry, Mike Neal and preseason star Jayrone Elliott are all expected to make the roster at outside linebacker.
Hubbard played college ball at Alabama and was a key piece to their dominant defense, but a heart problem caused him to fall out of the draft.
The linebacker tweeted his appreciation to the Packers organization following his release.
Wanted to use this platform to say thank you to the Green Bay Packer organization for giving me the opportunity to compete and grow as a man
