#68 Darren Hibbard

Offensive guard for the @GRDragons_UFFL. Hippo. @UFurryFootball All-Pro but still chill. @SASpectrums fan for life. #LivinTheDream

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

Sorry guys and girls, my old Twitter got compromised. But now your friendly happy heavy hitting hippo is back, brah!

[Grand Rapids Dragons @GRDragons_UFFL]

An important announcement from the club.

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

Great game, great win, but just got the word on James Dixon.

We're all pretty much in shock. Be okay brah, just be okay. 🕯🤙

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

Getting to know the new guys a little better before camp starts. Also catching up with the others as we come back...though there is one face I don't see.

@KovaLewdko if you see this, we need you brah. You are a ride or die to me, but you are the heart and soul of this team. 💚

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

Now that this is over, all that's left is to get to work. Let's go GRD!!! 🦛🐲🔥

[Grand Rapids Dragons @GRDragons_UFFL]

And finally, the biggest part of the O-Line will remain a Dragon as Darren Hibbard (G, Hippopotamus - @BigDHibbard) signs a 7-year deal worth $67.5M, making him the highest paid offensive linefur in league history. We're excited to have Darren back in Grand Rapids!

@AirDefkemper Can't wait! #TimeToGoToWork

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

Okay, waiting for all the offers to come in. As a team captain, I've been let in on some of the guys and girls we're going after on the market.

If they all sign, it's gonna be LIT in the GRD... 🔥

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

"So who are you rooting for in the FBA Playoffs since your Spectrums didn't get in?"

To be honest, I like the @HNTMayors. They've got a solid squad, I really like Fash and Snyman in the back, and my good friend @RhinoBaller55 is gonna lock it down. Put me down for the Mayors.

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

@BPeaceMass6 Still a hell of a season big guy. We'll be back next year! #WeAintDoneYet

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

Just got off a voice conference w/Mara and my agent. I know free agency starts tomorrow but they're confident they can settle on a deal that would make me the highest paid OL in the league. Can't share too many details yet but I'm hopping the first flight I can get back to GR!

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

@LilBearBaylor Yeah, what is this brah? Haven't been able to play myself so I've been following the league more - this is nuts! I'm gonna have to invest more time in my FBA League Pass but as long as my @SASpectrums keep winning, it's all good.

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

I'm not trying to sound like I'm giving up on Lagerstrom but I'd rather have the otter or polar bear over the badger right now.

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

I'm getting all kinds of action on my feed on Renegotiations - both Scoonie AND DQ are on the block? I'll have to look into the cap situation but to try and get one of them while leaving enough room to resign Hughes next year would be a tough undertaking.

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

Maybe I should try this when I get back to camp? https://t.co/PzLWPHsi4v

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

So, uh. . .I just got back from a much needed vacation and, uh. . .took some revealing pics down on the beach. I'd show em but I dunno if this is the right place...

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

Oh man. Game 7

I've already got my tickets and my bros ready to go. If we win, then I think we're gonna win it all. #SpectrumNation #WeAintDoneYet

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

But I wanna make one thing clear: I want to remain in Grand Rapids for the rest of my career. Love the city, love the whole area - West Michigan has that SoCal vibe without all the stuff people hate about it.

And a lot more snow. But it's all good.

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

Still trying to sort out some things for my new contract, which hopefully we can get done soon.

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

@MinusTheIna @BritBallLion I'd say Muscle Beach but I've still got at least two games left...hopefully four.

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

Found this just randomly - that's totally me if I ever got a chance to run the ball. 🏈🦛

[#68 Darren Hibbard @BigDHibbard]

@KovaLewdko Yeah...but have you heard about hippos lately?
