Five players for the Chargers tallied 40+ catches in 2013.

I think 45 catches is a safe bet for Hunter. But if he does get 60 grabs, he's WR2 status with his big play capability.

I'd venture to say that the Chargers ran 11 personnel the majority of the time in 2013 -- I wish I could find a definitive stat on that -- so I think Hunter sees the field plenty.

The question with Hunter is if he can make the touch catches across the middle. And it's only one catch in one preseason game, but he made that catch against the Falcons last week -- I was very excited to see that.

Jake Locker is an issue too. He's looked good some games and terrible in others.

truth.

He doesn't need to be a great route runner at 6-4. We saw that with Gordon, who literally ran like 2-3 routes for most of his yards. Fly, short crossing/slant, then a deep in route like Calvin.

Hunter has the fly down, so if he can learn to his his body for the 10-15-yard in route, he will be good.
