Scouting Report: Strengths
- Hunter shows impressive burst and enough quickness to occasionally threaten the edge as a pass rusher.
- Can make the impressive chest-to-chest bear hug tackle in the hole due to his ability to wreak havoc in the backfield.
- Provides some secondary interior pass rush, getting most penetration when playing three technique.
- Combines excellent power with initial quickness, but one of his best attributes are his violent hands, which Hunter uses with impressive precision.
- Shows a natural feel for setting up blockers and getting them off-balance. His hands are active and violent, and he quickly disengages with blockers and counters when his initial move stalls.
- Provides some secondary interior pass rush, getting most penetration when playing three technique.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Doesn't play fundamentally sound and lacks much technique in his repertoire.
- Hunter doesn’t show much in the way of dynamic change-of-direction ability on counter moves, and Hunter also has a limited repertoire of pass-rushing moves.
- He’s stiff as an athlete, as he lacks the flexibility to truly threaten the edge.
