There's no doubt about that. He's young and made dumb decisions like many others, but at least he didn't beat a girl. I can guess he wasn't happy waiting behind Devontae Booker and then likely disagreed with how their coaching staff didn't give him much reps at the beginning of 2016

He ran 4.57 at his pro day. With proper weight management for a change, and strengthening & conditioning at the NFL level this kid can shave a tenth of a second off that time.

He's a clone of Martin with less speed and more physicality.
He lost a ton of weight (stupid) to try and improve his 40 time and it pretty much stayed the same as when he was 225. I say bulk him back up and let him do what he does.

He needs to get back to 225 because his style of play won't hold up at 208.

The thing that's different about Hunt in a good way is that even though you see him run to contact and fight for yards on every run, he never fumbled. Usually guys that give that much extra effort fumble occasionally and he will as a pro if he seeks those extra couple of yards but he's very secure with the ball.

I dont think he'll reach near Bell's level, but considering Dorsey traded up to get this guy in round 3 means he sees something. That in itself should be warrant excitement. |

John Lynch changed his mind about drafting Joe Williams after not having him on his draft board.
Apparently the guys sister died and it ruined him mentally. Still...Lynch looks like an awful GM. Sure he got easy choices early in the draft from high picks. I would seriously doubt his mid to late round picks. |

I've watched his film. I'm pretty sure this guy can become as good as Ware at his best but stay constantly at this level if this makes sense. Ware at his best is arguably a top 10 RB.
Gore in his prime is also obviously a good comparison as far as high end potential. |

He can't run like he runs at 210; he'll get wrecked. He needs to add that weight back and while it may turn out that additional fitness helps, age and mileage will take most of that back. These guys don't get faster after college - they mature physically, get stronger and generally start losing top-end speed from the moment they put on pads. At best, you could hope that the strength and conditioning coaches get him back up to a healthy, powerful 220 and that it doesn't COST him speed in the process, but he ain't gaining any. The Curtis Martin comp is one I hadn't considered and I guess it's a fair statement of his peak ability. Personally I don't see it (Martin was more explosive at his best), but I could see why some do. Obviously that would be a great pick but even Dorsey doesn't see that in him. Dorsey has flat out stated that he was the best guy standing after the elite guys were gone. If Dorsey saw Curtis Martin here, he'd be considered among the elite guys. Dorsey sees Duce Staley. We already have one of those.

Dorsey has already said that he sees Hunt playing around 215 lbs. I don't think they want him at 220 - 230.

Andy was on NFL Insiders on ESPN yesterday and talked about Hunt's core strength. Said that if you want to see core strength and balance watch his tape.
That pretty much signals that the Chiefs drafted this kid to help with their struggles in short yardage situations last year. It's a big added bonus that he's a pass catcher, too. |
