I wanted to be different, said Hunter, who also won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's best receiver and the Bednarik Award as the best defender. So you know me, being different makes me feel more comfortable than doing the norm.
Hunter thanked Coach Prime for changing his life, but the same can be said the other way around. Hunter is Sanders' proof of concept. His rise to stardom, fulfilling the promise of his five-star potential while playing full-time on both offense and defense, is Sanders' most significant accomplishment as a college football coach.
More importantly, Hunter's spectacular season should serve as an example to all those blue-chippers pondering where to go to school: Those coaches need you every bit as much as, if not more than, you need them.
The reality, though, is what really sets those programs apart is their ability to recruit more players with NFL potential. Hunter, a Florida native, could have gone to any school in the country after playing his high school ball in Georgia.
