For three years, Hunter Long patrolled the Boston College offense as the silent assassin. He was 'The Asset', the character in the Jason Bourne franchise who executed his job with lethal efficiency and quiet confidence. His stoic personality spoke more to his job on the field and how he morphed into a dual-threat tight end, and his steady presence anchored the offense through the turbulent ride of 2020.
Maybe that's why it made sense for the unassuming tight end, The Asset, to very subtly announce his intention to forego his senior season and enter the NFL Draft process this offseason.
