Stats & Accolades
What the Panthers are getting:
Nicknamed āThe Fridgeā after his coach said āif the opponent wants to eat, they have to go through you first.ā Rightfully so as Hunter is built like the largest of kitchen appliances and most likely played bigger than his 318 pounds he recorded at the NFL Combine. Heās a ready-made two-gapper in the middle of odd and even fronts and has a surprising sixth sense of how to elude blockers and get into the backfield swiftly. If you want to get bigger and badder in the middle right away, Hunter is that guy.
