It’s not every day that ESPN will sing the praises of a small school guy before he has proven himself on the NFL level, but they did exactly that earlier this month. According to this story, one place Kareem Hunt has set himself apart during mini-camp was in the passing game.
That’s the first thing I look at when judging how much time playing time a rookie or freshman running back will see in the upcoming season. These guys have been reading blocks and running with the football since they were little kids. The learning curve is almost exclusively in the passing game, and by all accounts he is picking that aspect up quite nicely.
