That was my biggest goal for the past four years to do everything I can to you know, bring one to the hometown. So, it feels good. They have a great team. The team is great. Love the defense, love the offense that we have. And I’m excited to see us put it all together and gel it together and keep working to get to the end goal.”

Hunt also expressed his excitement about winning:

“I came ready to play and win, man. I’m just ready to go out there and showcase my talent. I know what I bring to the table when I play the game of football, so I’m excited.”

3 – Stefanski on Hunt

Browns Head Coach Kevin Stefanski was asked about the return of Hunt and how did he look to Stefanski?:

“And he looked in good shape. As you guys know, there’s football shape and there’s working out to stay in ready shape. So I’m sure he’s going to come along this week and we’ll see where he is. But he looks to be in good shape.”

He was also asked if there is a chance Hunt will play on Sunday:
