Sam Hartman is a heartthrob. That’s been considered the case since his time at Wake Forest, throughout his career at Notre Dame, and now with the Washington Commanders.
Hartman is such a heartthrob, in fact, that one of the Commanders’ coaches would prefer he stay away from his “hypothetical daughter.”
While meeting with reporters on Friday, offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury was asked about the tight-knit quarterback room featuring Jayden Daniels, Marcus Mariota, Josh Johnson, and Hartman.
That’s when Kingsbury dropped a hilarious all-time quote.
All time Kliff Kingsbury quote, which I’m pretty sure isn’t AI.

“Just truly good guys that like each other,” Kingsbury said. “Across the board, I would let anybody in that room marry my hypothetical daughter except Hartman because he’s way too good looking, but just phenomenal people above all else, hard workers, professionals, and they’re truly a joy to be around every day.”
Kingsbury’s comment drew laughter in the room and almost immediately went viral.
Hartman is no stranger to that kind of love. Throughout training camp, he was hit on by young fans and their mothers alike. Even NFL legend Cris Carter admitted Hartman was dreamy during the 2024 NFL Combine.
Luckily for Kingsbury, he has no children at the moment and nothing to worry about.
