NFL Quarterback Sam Hartman Announced As 'The Bachelor'

In a stunning turn of events, ABC has relaunched “The Bachelor” with the help of NFL quarterback Sam Hartman.

Hartman, 27, was an All-ACC quarterback at Wake Forest before eventually being drafted by the Washington Commanders in 2024. He finished his college career with 15,656 yards and 134 touchdowns.

Even though Hartman is still on the Commanders, he’ll spend parts of 2027 being the brand new face of “The Bachelor.” This shocking news was shared on “Good Morning America” this Friday.

“Honestly, at first I was like, ‘No way.’ I got really lucky and talked to Jesse Palmer and he kind of gave me the insight, what it is and what it’s not,” Hartman said. “When people are saying ‘I do,’ they don’t ask where you met, they just ask if you wanna do it forever. I don’t see any problem with that.”
