With Bryce Huff sidelined due to wrist surgery, rookie Jalyx Hunt is poised to step up in the Philadelphia Eagles' edge-rushing rotation. The third-round pick from Houston Christian has primarily contributed on special teams but is ready to take on a larger role in the defense.
Hunt's preparation and mindset reflect his readiness to support teammates like Josh Sweat, Brandon Graham, and Nolan Smith as they face the Los Angeles Rams. Despite a recent ankle injury, Hunt's outlook for playing is positive, and he recalls his challenging 'Welcome to the NFL' moment against All-Pro tackle Lane Johnson.
