Steele got 62% of the snaps last week. No way they're doing that with a rookie if they think they have a better option.

We'll see how it goes, but my money says Hunt will be the starter by week 8 at the latest
He's just a far more experienced and savvy vet, his pass pro knowledge alone will put him over Steele once he's fully integrated back into the program IMO
As you said earlier, it'd be awesome to see Steele at FB leading the charge for Kareem out of power formations with two TE sets... thats how you mitigate LT woes
