Agents like Jalen Phillips, the unit under Vic Fangio, needs breakout stars, and non-Shine brighter than Jalik's Hunn, the team's most underrated talent alongside Nolan Smith. Hunn's path started unconventionally, shifting from safety in the Ivy League to pass rusher at Houston Christian just two years back. There he exploded with quick bursts, sharp technique, and non-stop energy, showing real promise as a versatile defender.
