Game Film Evaluated:

Mississippi State (2014)

Florida (2014)

Pros: Gets good pop with initial punch. . Keeps his feet moving when engaged with blockers, helps him push the pocket. Has underrated strength when he uses good technique. He’s an effective player when he uses his arms to keep separation and just lean in with the shoulder. He was able to knock DJ Humphries back with his punch and able to get off blocks in the run game with power and rip move.

Cons: Has some power to him but very poor hand placement and technique on the pass rush. Does a real poor job keeping blockers away from his body. When he does get penetration, just lowers a shoulder with head down completely missing the target.

Summary: Danielle Hunter has ideal measurables and is very athletic to be a 4-3 defensive end. He will be drafted higher than film suggest due to the upside a player with those numbers has. This has been an issue with a lot of LSU prospects recently, potential is the game that draws the NFL to Baton Rouge annually. For every Michael Brockers, there is Sam Montgomery. Hunter plays like a 3^rd round pick on film but he projects to a 2^nd round pick due to the upside. He is extremely raw but a player with speed and already shows power to handle blockers is intriguing. I project Hunter to a 2^nd round pick who has confidence in developing raw pass rushers and is not in desperate need for starters on the line as a rookie.
