The Cincinnati Bengalsshared a photo of former defensive end Sam Hubbard fulfilling his duties as Ruler of the Jungle ahead of the team's home-opening NFL Week 2 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Paycor Stadium.
Hubbard, who got married in April, reportedly was in the first car in the stadium tailgate lot when it opened at 9 a.m.
Hubbard starred at Moeller High School and Ohio State University before playing in 104 games over seven seasons for the Bengals. He announced his retirement from the NFL in March.
In December, Hubbard injured his knee while scoring his first career receiving touchdown during a win against Tennessee.
Hubbard's most memorable moment for Cincinnati was the "Fumble in the Jungle," his fumble recovery and return for a touchdown during a 2023 playoff win against the Ravens.
