Hunt has also been in on about 65% of the ST snaps though and has accounted for 2 blocked kicks.
A 29 year old second-round pick that is in a contract year should be contributing much more on defense by now.
Meanwhile, a 25 year old third round pick still with one year left on his rookie contract after this year has outproduced Hunt on much fewer snaps.
Will Clarke has played in over 50 fewer defensive snaps (158 defensive snaps), has 3 sacks, and has overall looked better on defense.
Clarke deserves more playing time, but Hunt doesn't. Hopefully the team moves on from Hunt in the offseason.
Think hunt will go to a 3-4 team and have more success? Ala Justin smith?
