Hunter is the latest in a long line of edge-rushers from LSU to garner hype entering the 2015 NFL Draft, and the latest trends suggest he may wind up sneaking into the latter portion of the first round.

Following the LSU Pro Day in Baton Rouge, La., Hunter met with the Titans, Cowboys, Eagles, Browns and Steelers, all teams in desperate need of pass-rushing help. Hunter reportedly met with the Titans, Steelers, Eagles, Browns and ‘Boys, all teams with the exception of Tennessee that hold picks later on and may view Hunter as a prospect worthy of taking in the first round.

Some scouts consider Hunter an even better prospect than former LSU standout rusher Barkevious Mingo, who was a top-10 pick for Cleveland back in 2013. He has physical talent and plenty of potential, but not as much college production to back up his case.
