Tennessee Titans wide receiver Justin Hunter burst onto the scene last season when his first career catch was a 34-yard game winning touchdown, but what are his expectations in year two? Fellow Titans receiver Michael Preston believes that Hunter shows signs of a very prolific future Hall of Famer.
Preston took to Twitter to express his feelings toward Hunter and went as far as comparing the 23-year-old to Randy Moss.
"Not only is the sky the limit, I think he's going to be alright (personally).”
"I know how great a player Randy Moss was, and in my mind, there's no reason Justin can't be the next greatest player … I just want to be there to support him. I know he's going to grow, make a great leap this year, and impress the city and fans with his talent.”
That is quite a compliment from the three-year veteran and he could be right. There is no way of knowing how good Hunter can be as he continues to mature, but in his first season he made big plays in bunches.
Hunter only made 18 catches in 2013, but he went for 354 yards and four touchdowns. Hunter averaged 19.7 yards per catch and really seemed to mesh with Titans starting quarterback Jake Locker. Once Locker went down with a foot injury, Hunter’s play started to slide and he didn't manage a catch in the Titans' last two games.
Hunter could develop into a fine receiver for the Titans and he could even become a Pro Bowler with consistent quarterback play, but to compare any second-year player to Randy Moss is a stretch.
Justin Hunter will be better than Cordarrelle Patterson this year just like he's always been.
