In 2001 my sponsored Scottish Claymore player was San Diego Chargers allocated player Safety Reggie Hunt, his stats for the season are as follows. 2001 Claymores Stats: SeasonTotal tackles: 34 (game high: 6, week 1) [30 normal/ 4 special teams] Total PD: 7 (game high: 2, weeks 1,4) Total Forced Fumbles: 1 (game high: 1, week 8) Total INT: 2* for no return (game high: 1, weeks 1,4) Total Kick-Off returns: 9 for 171 yds (longest: 38 yds, week 9. Average gain 19 yds) *jointly led team. 2001 Chargers Stats: PreseasonGames: 4 (SF, MIA, STL, ARI). Total tackles: 6. (game high: 4, week 4 (ARI)] Interceptions: 1 for 0 yds (Game 4). Passes Defensed: 1 (Game 4). Kick-Off returns: 4 for 139 yds (longest: 72 yds, week 2 (MIA). Average gain 34.75 yds leads team preseason). Highlights: Reggie's INT was from a Chris Greisen pass and he caught it at the 20-yd line for no gain (the stats mistakenly say it was a 27 yd INT). Obviously, the 72-yd Kick Return was the spectacular highlight. Surprise Hero Rescues ChargersHunt return sets up victory in overtime; Brees solid in debutBy Jim Trotter, UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITERAugust 19, 2001
Running backs coach Ollie Wilson turned to Hunt and in all seriousness asked: "Have you ever done this before?" Hunt was incredulous... more Reggie played in San Diego's first two preseason games first, a thrilling 25-24 win over the 49ers (a two-point conversion with 30 seconds left winning it for the Chargers). Reggie had 1 tackle and a kick-off return for 25 yards in 4th Quarter action. And then in the 23-20 win over Miami. Reggie set up the game-winning field goal in OT by returning the opening OT kick-off for 72 yards from the 8-yd line to the 20 of Miami. A five-yard face mask penalty was added on to the run. Without the face masking (by Olindo Mare as he ran past?) Reggie would have gotten a touchdown. Fantastic stuff!
I'll have more Reggie stuff up here soon. He was an excellent player and a really great guy. Reggie is currently in training camp with the San Diego Chargers and he has a shot at making their roster or practice squad. Good luck Reggie! Thanks also to all of Reggie's friends and relatives who have e-mailed me their kind words. Thank you!
