Through two NFL seasons, Titans receiver Justin Hunter has shown flashes of the talent that made Tennessee take him in the second round of the 2013 draft. But he has also showed an inconsistent work ethic and inconsistent play.
And so Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt says he has told Hunter that he needs to show he gets it, or he’s going to be doing something other than being a professional football player.
“At some point, you either get it or you won’t be in this league anymore. That’s the natural order of the NFL,” Whisenhunt said of Hunter, via the Tennessean.
Hunter says he gets it.
“I’ve got to get it going,” Hunter said. “Going into my third year, I’ve got to improve. I can’t falter in any part of my game.”
If Hunter doesn’t get it going, he’ll be going somewhere other than Tennessee. Whisenhunt is making clear that Hunter is nearing his last chance.
