Cincinnati Bengals mini-camp notes

[PonyPride]

Margus Hunt is extremely raw, but with coaching and training, the hope is that his physical gifts translates into the NFL. Zimmer told Hunt to identify himself.

"He's got a lot of physical skills. He's smart. He catches on," Zimmer said. "He can run. I told him yesterday, he kind of has to know who he is. He's not a wiggle guy, he's a power guy. He's strong, physical, he's got good arms. Great strength and great speed, so he has to know what he is. He's not going to juke somebody. He's got to power on them, make them sit down, and then be able to make moves off of it."

Don't expect Hunt to be a major contributor on defense early. Cincinnati selected him based on his physical abilities. Yet his football abilities are extremely raw. Who else is excited about Hunt? Special teams coach Darrin Simmons.

"It’s kind of hard to not be good at (blocking kicks) when you are as quick as he is and you are 6-8 and have long arms," he said.
