For McVay to give Hunter so much preseason playing time, including in the fourth quarter, would be completely opposite of his typical treatment of NFL regular season players. He just hasn't done that in the past, like at all. But Hunter is on 79-percent of rosters right now and it's not surprising. Hunter was a fourth-round pick last year.

Fourth-rounder getting rare McVay preseason volume signals roster confidence.

Fourth-round pick receiving significant preseason playing time including fourth-quarter snaps, a departure from McVay's typical treatment of regular-season roster players; on 79% of fan rosters. McVay's willingness to give Hunter this much preseason exposure suggests confidence in his roster standing, though Hunter disappeared during his entire rookie season due to team's respect for Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. The key differentiator between Hunter and Ronnie Rivers may be special teams: Rivers is the team's kick returner while Hunter has not returned kicks.
