Sam Hartman may not be the current leading man on the Washington Commanders, but he will be the leading man on the next season of ABC's The Bachelor.
The Bachelor just announced that Washington Commanders practice squad member and former Notre Dame quarterback, Sam Hartman, will be the new lead for the show's 30th season. The announcement comes after the franchise's longest hiatus and a catastrophic mess with Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star, Taylor Frankie Paul.

"The 27-year-old professional quarterback is changing the game and looking for his forever teammate. Sam is a Charlotte, North Carolina native who plays for the NFL’s Washington Commanders. Our new Bachelor is also a fan favorite from the docuseries 'QB1:
Beyond the Lights,'" Bachelor Nation wrote under its announcement post.
"This charismatic heartthrob is ready to swap out footballs for roses and make his mark on Bachelor Nation history."
While, unfortunately, not every single woman in America can be chosen to be on the show, every one in America can still support the new Bachelor by wearing his NFL jersey.
The jerseys may not have been in high demand until recently, but we have a feeling they'll be sold out soon.
You can save on the jersey on at Fanatics with code FRIDAY and take up to 60% off the listed price.
