The Patriots have good reason to have their eye on Hunter. Executive Vice President of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf told Patriots.com on Wednesday that the team had written up scouting reports on him as both a receiver and a cornerback and could see the talented Hunter playing on both sides of the ball in the NFL as he did in college.
“Everybody knows I can light up a room just by walking in, I always have a smile on my face,” said Hunter of what kind of addition he would be to an NFL locker room. “I bring the excitement and I’m a great communicator.”
It might boil down to one of Hunter’s teammates in deciding whether or not New England has a chance to select him at fourth overall.
While most expect Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter and Miami quarterback Cam Ward to be top-three selections, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is the wild card. If the Titans, Browns or Giants think Sanders is their quarterback of the future, or if another team decides to move up in a trade to select him, it could put Hunter in the Patriots sights.
With needs at both wide receiver and cornerback, Hunter just might be an ideal fit for a Patriots team that could use an injection of his rare athleticism and versatility. It might be uncharted territory, but Hunter has full confidence he can continue to play on both sides of the ball.
“I know I can do it,” said Hunter. “There’s a lot more breaks in the NFL.”
