Hunt intercepted a pass on Sunday to cap his regular season in style.

A season ago, as a rookie behind a lot of veteran defenders, Hunt didn't intercept a pass and had just 1.5 sacks.
Now, stepped into a bigger role, Hunt has delivered.
If the Eagles make noise in the playoffs, you can count on Hunt to make a big play or two on the run.
