Commanders QB Sam Hartman has been announced as the headliner on ABC’s “The Bachelor” next season.
“I’m excited but also very nervous,” Hartman told “Good Morning America” on Friday ahead of the reality romance show that starts its 30th run on March 21. “I have a tough time holding conversation with one girl. Thirty is going to be pretty tough.”
Washington signed Hartman as a free agent in 2024 after he spent five years at Wake Forest and one season at Notre Dame. He’s now on the Commanders’ practice squad.

Hartman said he was hesitant about accepting this new role, with his first response being “no way.” It wasn’t until former NFL player and “Bachelor” host Jesse Palmer convinced him otherwise.
“He kind of gave me the insight of what it is, what it’s not,” Hartman said. “And I think anybody in their right mind, if you get told, ’Hey, you’ve got a chance to go find the love of your life,’ I know one thing: When people are saying, ’I do,’ they don’t ask you where you met; they ask if you wanna do it forever, and I don’t see any problem with that.”
