  • He has alternated snaps at wide receiver and cornerback through OTAs, rookie minicamp and training camp as the team architects a dual-role deployment.
  • Head coach Liam Coen acknowledged the logistical challenges of splitting Hunter’s practice workload and confirmed he will play both ways in Friday night’s scrimmage.
  • Hunter indicated he plans to market his “Unicorn” nickname with potential merchandise to capitalize on his unique profile.
