    If you're wanting Hunter back, you don't need speed.....
    You need a methadone clynic.

    From his draft profile....I like the competitive and YAC aspects

    Strengths
    Able to adjust and go get low throws. Varies speed in his routes and can lull cornerbacks to sleep and get over top of them. Has a turbo button he can call on to chase down the deep ball. Very good ball tracker and can make over-the-shoulder catches. Flashes ability as a route runner who can frustrate cornerbacks with more complex routes. Physical and highly competitive after catch. Can make defenders miss after catch and chalk up yards after catch. Won't give cornerbacks an easy tackle once contact is made.

    Weaknesses
    Body catcher. Allows throws into his frame. Won't show top speed in routes unless he's going vertical. Can get more push on cornerbacks if he learns to play faster off the snap. Needs to improve consistency of effort when asked to block. Will round off routes at times, opening door for aggressive cornerbacks to jump the route.

    I wouldn't mind them signing him to the practice squad and allow him to work on his weaknesses. Maybe now he is a little more humbled and is willing to put in the work.

    If you can do it you can do it....doesn't matter where. Not sure why he didn't run at the combine, but at his workout there he ran a 4.44.....the guy is fast.

    Actually a deep threat is a guy that's a threat to beat you deep. Which is what Hunter was.

    Especially on this team. We don't even have a post threat right now.
