Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz had some kind things to say about Jason Hunter. The Lions had released Hunter Monday and he was signed Thursday by the Broncos.

Schwartz said in the Lions’ re-vamped defensive line Hunter was going to get caught in a squeeze with roster cuts on the horizon. Hunter started nine games for the Lions last season, the first starts of his NFL career.

“Jason played a nice role for us last year,” Schwartz said. ” … He’s a good, hard worker; he’s a really tough guy. He did a nice job for us last year, but our defensive line is in a little different position than we were in than last year.”

At 271 pounds Hunter will get a look at outside linebacker in the Broncos scheme and had worked at the position some when Green Bay went from a 4-3 scheme to a 3-4 during his time with the team. The Lions played him at left defensive end during training camp in their 4-3.

During his three seasons in Green Bay Hunter was one of the Packers’ best special teams players having led the team with 25 special teams tackles in 2007.

this guy is indeed basically what we wanted out of reid. a dominant special teamer that can come in and rush the passer sometimes. 34 tackles and 5 sacks? I hope he can bring that shit here man because no matter how you put it thats solid stats for a backup.

he looked pretty good last night.
