Every so often I explode out of my seat in anger and frustration about a player that is clearly overrated. With Danielle Hunter I was left screaming at my tablet SHOW ME SOMETHING, GET OFF THE GOD DAMN FOOTBALL! Instead there was nothing I could see in this kid to justify him being graded as the 37th best prospect in the draft according to NFLDraftScout.com.
Here is a kid who epitomizes the thought bias that players who come from the SEC and in this case LSU are overrated because they play in the SEC or for LSU. Reputation of conference and school completely bloats the ranking of this kid and it may be the most jaw droppingly stupid ranking of a kid I've ever seen on this website NFLDraftScout.com
Hunter is a tease at best because of his tremendous length 6-5 252-pounds and over 34-inch arm length to go with 1.57 10-yard split and 4.57 40-yard dash. But as Mayock says "when you put the tape on" this kid falls flat in a big way. He has zero snap anticipation, no explosion off the ball, no technique no bend, no power NOTHING. I watched the Miss. State and Florida tape and was left shaking my head. How is this kid even draftable much less a top-50 prospect?
LSU lists him as having made 75 tackles, third on the team. If he made one or two tackles in each of the two games I watched I must have missed them both. The only thing that belies his undraftable status is his 4.5 sacks in two years starting at LSU which directly correlates to his lack of football playing ability.
While he may be a very tall appealing fast athlete, the rest of his package is highly suspect at best. I could see him as a priority UDFA pickup and nothing more. I look at this guy and wonder how NFLDraftScout maintains the reputation they do.
End rant.
