Hunt was productive in college. He was All Conference in the WAC or Mountain West or whatever conference SMU was in.
I think Royal is saying that Hunt just got those sacks and blocks because he was stronger than his opponents and didn't really know much about technique. I have pretty much agreed with that, but i thought there was a good chance Hunt developed into a good NFL player. He had the work ethic to be a world class track athlete, and quickly developed into a college star in football. But this is his third year, and he is not showing anything. He should at least be getting a handful of snaps in the regular rotation by now.
If he is still under contract for next year then bring him back, but don't count on him making the roster.
And even if he never plays a snap, that does not mean we should not take a chance on a freak with little football background. Hunt actually had better numbers in college than Ziggy Ansah, and they were in the same draft. Ansah was also a ntrack athlete who did not play football until college. The Lions took him in the first ro9und and he is currently 2nd in the league with 11.5 sacks.
