LOVE seeing a guy from University of Toledo absolutely shred the Cheats!
Thought he was special watching him play in person and on TV here.
And in an Andy Reid offense, he has a chance to be REAL special.
From back before the draft :

Welcome back, kid ( TMC )!
Luckily for us, Mike Adams isn't in this draft for us to argue about. LOL

I'm curious of your take on Kareem Hunt, RB out of Toledo.
Living near there, I got to see him in person a dozen or so times and on TV all the time.
The only area I see him needing a LOT of work is pass protection.
He's not going to outrun anyone really, either, but he's a pretty well rounded back with exceptional ball security.
I think he'll turn out better than fellow UT alum Chester Taylor, who had himself a nice decade+ career in the NFL.
General consensus has him going late 3rd/early 4th.
I feel that's criminally low for a back with his traits/game.

What say you?

I know it's only one game, but what a debut!

Great story how he fumbles on his first ever NFL carry and then dominates the rest of the game.

If he goes on to have a HOF career, that fact and game will become common knowledge among football fans.

Great response by KC to not turtle when they went down early and to keep fighting even after they gave up the lead in the 3rd. I enjoyed this game and lets just say its ******* great to have football back. Its been missed. Its even better when the *'s lose.

I think the school hurt his draft stock when they listed him at 6'-0" and 225 lbs.

His actually height/weight is like 5'-10.5" and 215#. And I think he almost looked smaller than that on film last night.

He reminded me a lot of Brian Westbrook last night and how Andy Reid turned him into a fantasy machine for a couple seasons. Very similar play styles.

Hunt was in my mocks draft as a player to target in rounds 3-4. I liked him better than Conner to be honest.

He was looking more 220-225 last night, but can't say for sure.
He's added a few lbs since his last game here for sure.
Reid does that to most of his backs.
It's a GREAT fit for sure, but I thought he'd have been good anywhere really.
He runs tough.

Got him for $5.00 in my auction draft back on August 19.
Spent my 2nd rounder ( 20th overall ) on him this past Tuesday.
NO way he would have made it back to me in the 3rd.

I got Hunt in my 10-man fantasy league in the beginning of round 4. Very happy I got him.
