Down the line, it’ll be interesting to see what Hunter’s contract negotiations look like for his second contract if he realizes his goal of playing receiver and cornerback in the NFL.
“We’ll have a plan right now of [Hunter playing] primarily on offense,” head coach Liam Coen said after Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft, “with learning the defensive system and practicing on the defensive side of the ball as well throughout this offseason program.”
“We have to be fluid throughout this whole process. We’ve had multiple conversations at length with athletic training, equipment, sports science, coaching, everybody involved about this process and what it’s going to look like moving forward. We have a plan in place, and that’s really where we’ll start.”
