Hunt got his start with the Chiefs after they selected him in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He ran for a league-high 1,327 rushing yards and eight touchdowns during his rookie season. In November 2018, however, the Chiefs released him after a video surfaced that showed Hunt pushing and kicking a woman on the ground.

However, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid announced a very different plan for Hunt on Wednesday. "We'll get him in there and get him some work. Kind of get him back in the swing of playing and we'll just see," Reid told reporters. "We've got to get him in a position to where he's ready to play either this, next week or the following week."
