The multiple calls upon Justin Hunter as a player whom the Pittsburgh Steelers need to step up this season have elicited a variety of reactions from fans. Some are actually intrigued by the possibility of the sixth-year journeyman stepping into a bigger role, though the majority seem to be terrified by the prospect.
As should be no surprise, it is an opportunity that the wide receiver readily embraces, assuming that it even comes. Hunter spent some time last year as the number four wide receiver on the depth chart, catching only four passes for one touchdown, and he figures to be no better than number four again this season.
