OVERALL

Wyatt Hubert has many accolades for his college football career and even declared for the NFL a year before his eligibility expired, but he may struggle to make an NFL roster. If you're looking for a trait to hang your hat on, other than consistency, you won't find it in Hubert's game.

What he brings to the table is quiet production that comes from consistently being in the right spot with a high motor. The 4-3 defensive end prospect is a borderline rosterable player who should battle in camp to make a 53-man roster as a game-day inactive early on in his career, if he's not stashed on a practice squad.
