Q: On if it has been different at this level to learn two playbooks?

Q: On what makes the offense a challenge to learn)?
Hunter: Just longer calls and concepts are different.”
Q: On why it was important to him to make sure he was doing his reps correctly?
Hunter: “The organization expects a lot out of me. They expect me to come out here and play right away. I’m going to do whatever it takes for me to play right away.”
