Former Tennessee Volunteers wide receiver Justin Hunter hasn’t done a whole lot during his first season in the NFL.
The Tennessee Titans rookie scored touchdowns in back to back weeks early in the season, but had not had more than two catches in a game.
Until today.
Hunter broke out in a big way, catching six passes for 109 yards, including an impressive 54 yard touchdown reception.
The touchdown helped propel the Titans to a 23-19 victory over the Oakland Raiders.
Hunter, Tennessee’s leading receiver against Oakland, also had a key catch on the Titan’s go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter.
The former Vol now has 13 receptions, 231 yards and three touchdowns on the season.
