Chuba Hubbard wants to play Olympic flag football for Canada
Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard hails from Edmonton, Alberta. And he's already thinking about wearing a flag with a maple leaf in the middle during the 2028 Olympics. David Newton of recently asked Hubbard whether he wants to represent Canada in the flag-football tournament. 'Hell yeah!'' Hubbard said. 'I don't know the process or anything, but I plan to still be in this league and thrive in 2028. So, if they want me to become a part of it, it would be an honor.'' The desire flows from Hubbard's boyhood goal to become an Olympic sprinter. Football changes his priorities. Could a team of Canadian NFL players compete with an American team? 'You're asking the wrong guy,'' Hubbard said, smiling. 'I'm going to say we're going to win no matter what.'' However the Canadian team fares, coach Chad Palmer has already made clear his belief that NFL players will outshine career flag-football players. So if Hubbard wants in, he'll likely have a spot. As long as no one else from the Panthers has dibs on the one Olympic assignment per NFL team.

Chuba Hubbard: Panthers' goal this year is winning the Super Bowl
Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard has played his entire four-year career in Carolina, and he has yet to play on a winning team. As he heads into Year Five, he's eager to change that. Hubbard told Scott Fowler of the Charlotte Observer that the Panthers have assembled a team that can realistically think about a championship. 'If the goal isn't to make the playoffs and win a Super Bowl,' Hubbard said, 'you're selling yourself short. So that's always been the goal. That's the goal this year. And I think we're the closest we've ever been.' Hubbard said players like him who have been around during some tough seasons know it's past time to turn things around. 'I think guys are finally sick of being the same ol', same ol' Carolina Panthers,' he said. 'I think we want to get back to what they did here in the past, in 2015 [when the Panthers went to the Super Bowl] and some of those other years when they had deep playoff runs and had the crowd involved and the city hyped up. We haven't had that.' They're long shots this year, but after an ugly start to last season, the Panthers turned things around down the stretch, going a respectable 4-5 in their last nine games and playing well in some of their losses, including going down to the wire against both of last year's Super Bowl teams, the Chiefs and Eagles. Hubbard thinks that for the first time, he's on a team that might be close to something special.
