Hunt has spent each of his four pro seasons with the Miami Dolphins , who selected the University of Louisiana product in the second round of the 2020 draft. The Ragin' Cajun came into the pros with a first-team All-Sun Belt nod from 2019 and a second-team All-Sun Belt nod from 2018.
He has registered 55 starts over 61 career games, with the vast majority of his work coming from the right guard position. Although it was cut short due to a hamstring injury, the 2023 campaign resulted in the best Pro Football Focus grade for Hunt—who notched a 77.1 overall offensive mark.
The 6-foot-6, 335-pounder is a huge investment towards the growth of quarterback Bryce Young , who was sacked 62 times in 2023.
