While he keeps in touch with his family from afar, Hunter is still finding ways to train in Houston while following social distancing guidelines.
Hunter is unable to work out at O Athletik, the massive gym opened by former Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, but continues to receive guidance from his trainer, James Cooper.
"We'll meet up at different locations around the city in the mornings when there's not many people around and we'll do hill workouts, or he'll bring some of his own equipment and we'll use that for the day," Hunter said. "Basically just do the workouts that we need to do, and that'll be about it.
"I always go run a mile whenever I get a chance to, and then after that, I just go to my footwork guy," he added. "He can't have as many people as he's supposed to be having because of the lockdown rules and all that. There's a certain time for each participant to go there and work on their footwork."
Asked about a mental toll these unprecedented circumstances can create, Hunter acknowledged that it "definitely throws you off a little bit" but that it's important to stay focused and ready to go.
"You never know when they're going to call us back in. I think the number one thing that we can all do right now is keep our bodies in shape and pay attention to our coaches whenever they text us," Hunter said. "And text each other, check up on each other and see how we're doing."
