Margus Hunt as an NFL prospect

Unfortunately, DE is not one of the positions that the Redskins need help, so I doubt he'll be joining Aldrick, Richard and Josh in DC. Too bad, DC is a great place for young Eastern Europeans, just ask Alex Ovetchkin.

Kiper has him as the #5 DE in the draft. From what I've read he's a borderline 1st round pick, and quickly rising. I've heard a couple of draft people refer to him as a JJ Watts type player with a very high ceiling.

Here's hoping Margus becomes our LT!!!!

Our president made 3 tweets on his twitter account about Margus on game day and the day after. He actually grew up in US and might be the only estonian besides me who follows football. Thought I'd share

Although this might change soon. I mean few years ago sumo became pretty much a national sport around here because one of our average 6ft7in'ers decided to try it out in japan and got pretty good.

For years I was looked upon weirdly for following this sport by me mates, but with this Hawaii bowl Margus has really gotten big around here as well. There used to be couple of short news stories about him here every once and a while, but last few days Margus has pretty much been the #1 sports news story in our media.

I quess not too much else going on here around christmas, but it's still cool.

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Another thing slightly amusing about our media is that we have no estonian versions for american football terms like sack or quaterback etc. So when journalists write about Hunt, they can get creative. And by now the most commonly used word for sack in estonain is smth that could be translated into "tears down" or "rips apart" in english. But thing is "hunt" means "wolf" in estonian. So it is common seeing rather awesome headlines about wolf ripping someone apart(we got plenty of wolves in estonia btw) with a picture of Margus next to it.

College Gameday gave props to Margus yesterday out of nowhere when talking about upcoming bowl games and how bowl season allows us to witness amazing players not in the limelight because of the school they're at. ESPN has called him a next JJ Watt. Hope he tears it up in the NFL.

Estonia! Great to hear from you and learn that Margus has become a national figure. If you like football, you should vacation next fall in Dallas and come to some games... You have an open invitation to see the Mustangs...

If he shines in Senior Bowl, that sould get him into first round.

There's something funny about ESPN saying it gives us a chance to see players at schools that usually can't be seen...

What did he tweet?

Nothing too noteworthy, just couple of links with news about game etc.

I am rewatching the game, just got to the safety. One thing I have noticed is how much hunt was moving around on the line. I keep hearing people talking about how he was taking advantage of a true freshman right tackle, but he was getting pressure against different offensive linemen.

On the safety he was matched up against the right guard who is listed as a redshirted sophomore. It is pretty funny, as they show the replay of him schooling the guard (#73) they are talking about him taking advantage of the tackle (#76). The color guy is even talking about how they are moving him around the line and says that this time he is lined up inside, but somehow they think he is against the tackle. Poor tackle was busy blocking Davis, so it was not his fault.

Same thing on the prior play where hunt burst through and Davis got the sack.
