"MIAMI BEACH - Texas Tech defensive tackle Lee Hunter, who spent three years at UCF, has been a top-notch performer at the Senior Bowl this week by using an impressive combination of speed and power that have made him almost impossible to block. Really. No one can block the guy. He's been wrecking plays. Hunter, long-armed and violent at 6-foot-3, 320 pounds, has been a standout in both 1-on-1 drills and 11-on-11s, where he's been seen splitting double-teams to make run stops."
""I wasn't trying to show anything," he said. "I just wanted to be myself, just be Lee Hunter and whatever takes place, takes place. But I just want to stay true to myself, who I am on a day-to-day basis, who I've been throughout my college career. I just want to be myself and just help others around me be successful.""
Lee Hunter, a Texas Tech defensive tackle who spent three years at UCF, dominated the Senior Bowl with a rare combination of speed and power that made him difficult to block. He measures 6-foot-3 and 320 pounds, uses long arms, and plays with violent leverage to split double teams and make run stops in both 1-on-1 drills and 11-on-11s. He produced standout plays on consecutive days, including splitting a double-team and shoving a center into the quarterback. He emphasizes staying true to himself. He projects as a consensus top-five defensive tackle in the April draft and could fit as a mid-round run-stuffer for Miami, which has a young and inconsistent defensive-tackle group and several short-term veterans.
