Eagles running backs Brian Westbrook and Correll Buckhalter have had some good things to say about rookie Tony Hunt, namely the improvement he's shown since being drafted.
"Me and Westbrook were talking about that at practice today - Tony looks a whole lot better. I know rookie camp probably helped him a lot," Buckhalter tells the Philadelphia Inquirer."No wasted motion, he looks like he's got it pretty much down." Westbrook adds, "I think Tony will get on the field this year, and I'm sure he'll do a great job... As another running back, I see his potential."
Hunt is seen as the eventual replacement for Buckhalter, who is Westbrook's primary backup, but Tony might not have a big role in year one if both veterans stay healthy.
If anything, Hunt's size could lead to a short-yardage job, but fantasy owners shouldn't think him the goal-line back quite yet.
