The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder has instant acceleration and almost unreal lateral agility and flexibility on the move. He can cut hard at full speed and not lose much momentum. Hunter’s top speed and “chase gear” are both elite and he understands how to use each on both sides of the ball.

While I definitely see a potential high pick at wide receiver, my initial impression is that Hunter is a better prospect at cornerback. His innate ability to bait quarterbacks and make plays on the ball in the air is rare. It does bring to mind his Colorado head coach in his Prime as the best playmaking corner of his era.

Hunter uses his length and fluidity very well to match up against outside wide receivers. While he’s not that physical in coverage, he can effectively steer and disrupt with his quick reactions and length on the outside. There might not be a better corner in the country at reacting to and jumping comeback routes and double moves on shorter routes. The way in which Hunter controls his twitchiness is special.

I like him but Deion has ruined him I have no idea what position he will play in the league nor have we seen him against elite competition.
