3) Start on offense and defense in the same game.
Last to do it: Antonio Cromartie in 2012.
The former All-Pro cornerback played just three offensive snaps for the Jets in their Week 14 win over the Jaguars, making one catch for a loss of two yards — the only reception of his 11-year career. Cromartie, who made the Pro Bowl in 2012 as a cornerback, played just 15 total offensive snaps that season.
Last rookie to do it: Spencer Larsen in 2008.
The former Broncos sixth-round pick, who began his pro career on defense, started at both linebacker and fullback in the team’s Week 11 game against the Falcons. Larsen earned Rookie of the Week honors for his two-way performance in the game.
4) Start on offense and defense in the same game multiple times.
Last to do it: Deion Sanders in 1996.
The Hall of Fame cornerback — and Hunter’s head coach in college — started on both sides of the ball eight times for the Cowboys that season. He tallied two picks, three fumble recoveries, 36 catches and 475 receiving yards en route to the fourth of his six first-team All-Pro selections.
5) Run 2,000+ yards in a game (snap to whistle distance).
Last to do it: Nobody (current record is 1,908 yards run by Zay Jones with the Bills against the Bears in Week 9, 2018).
Jones finished with just 18 receiving yards in that game, but he set the NGS era record.
Opposing offensive coordinators could try to test Hunter’s status as the “Cardio King” by running go routes at him all game. Factor in Hunter’s own plays on offense, and he could be the first player to run 2,000+ yards in a game since at least 2016.
6) Play 1,200 snaps from scrimmage in a single season.
Last to do it: Nobody (since at least 2016).
Hunter played 1,460 snaps from scrimmage in 13 games for Colorado last season. While we can expect him to average fewer snaps than the 112.3 mark he reached in 2024, he has a very good chance to set this NGS record as a rookie playing a 17-game season.
7) Record at least 1 receiving TD and 1 INT in a single game.
Last to do it: Brian Dawkins against the Texans in Week 4 of the 2002 season.
Not only did “Weapon X” have a receiving touchdown (57 yards on a fake punt) and a fumble recovery for the Eagles in that game, but he also recorded a sack and an interception against then-rookie David Carr (apologies to our beloved NFL Network colleague).
Hunter had three games with at least one TD catch and one INT in his final season at Colorado (against Oklahoma State, Colorado State and UCF).
