The Facts: Hunter, who was signed to a one-year contract in March, continues to shine in the early going. He had several nice grabs Thursday, including a leaping catch over Ross Cockrell in team drills. "He's making a lot of plays and is doing a good job," HC Mike Tomlin said. "But he's a veteran football player. Although he's new to us, he's going into his fifth year and it shows from time to time."
Diehards Line:
As ESPN.com noted this morning, the Steelers can't count on Martavis Bryant until he's reinstated by the NFL, and with Sammie Coates and JuJu Smith-Schuster nursing injuries early in camp, Hunter has impressed with his athletic catches over the first four days of camp. When all options are on the field at once, however, plays must be made to earn significant snaps.
