2017 NFL Draft: Top 10 running back prospects
By Dan Dahlke
7. Kareem Hunt, Toledo (6-0, 225) — Film Grade: 78.0
Quick Take: Hunt’s quick footwork and ability to change direction immediately jump out on film. He also possesses a really effective jump cut. He can turn on a dime and has the burst to find a crease and break through it before the defense can adjust. As a MAC running back, his level of competition may hurt his stock a bit in draft war rooms. Despite this, he’s still a back that rushed for over 1400 yards and 10 touchdowns his senior year. Hunt runs with good pad level, but for a back his size, you’d hope he’d pack a bit more of a punch at the point of contact. Hunt’s vision could also use some work. He tends to dance too much at the line of scrimmage instead of finding his hole and hitting it. This tendency has led to several runs for loss or no gain.
