2024 Receiving Projections
Hunter will enter the 2013 NFL Draft, ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hunter might be the most athletic receiver in the draft at at least 6-foot-3 and with exceptional explosiveness and deep speed. Hunter suffered a torn ACL early in the 2011 season and was a bit off in 2012 as a result, so his stock is down relative to where it was a year ago. Hunter doesn't figure to be a great possession target since his hands are probably just average and he doesn't cut sharp on a dime, but his rare vertical speed earns him a cushion and a nice margin of error as he runs routes, and he ends up open a lot of the time even if he doesn't look all that graceful doing it. Where he figures to shine, in any case, is as a deep and intermediate route target, where his length and explosiveness figure to make him a headache right away for NFL defenses. Hunter could very well be a first-round pick, and we doubt he falls out of the top 40.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2012
2011
Hunter’s 2011 season ended Sept. 17 due to a torn ACL, but he conclusively showed prior to the injury that greatness awaits him. Hunter caught 16 passes for 302 yards and two scores in the first two games of the year, and he has a good quarterback (Tyler Bray) throwing him the ball. Hunter is just too big (6-4) and too fast – he might be the best receiver in the country.
