Vikings Defensive Tackle Linval Joseph:
“Danielle is on his way. Any athlete you’ve ever asked for, I feel like he’s in the top three of anybody’s list. He’s smart, he works hard, he makes plays and cares about others.”
Vikings Linebacker Anthony Barr:
“He just goes out and does things the right way, and he does it his way. He does it quietly. But he has a lot of fun doing it, too. I think it’s just kind of the way he is. He doesn’t say much; he just goes out and does it and always does it at a high level.”
“I think it’s maybe how he was raised, just his personality. I think that all plays into it. I think the most important thing is that he’s comfortable being himself, and he’s comfortable not following the crowd. He’s comfortable carving his own path, and he’s been successful with that.”
Vikings Safety Harrison Smith on Hunter’s abilities:
“To start with, he’s a freak show. But the way he’s approached the game since he got here – very professional, very curious, how to be great. And it’s obviously shown up.”
Vikings Safety Harrison Smith on Hunter playing clean football:
“I would say it starts with his mental approach. He’s obviously very successful without getting those penalties. That’s not by accident. That’s a conscious effort. It’s hard to do when it’s live, so he has great self-discipline – even when things are heightened. I’m sure that’s something that he works on, whether he knows it or not.”
