Thrilled Exeter NH Native Actually Invited to NFL Draft

How cool is this for Hunter Long of Exeter?

Hunter is one of 45 players that were invited to participate in the virtual NFL draft, according to a story from WMUR.  He is a graduate of Exeter High and is one of the best tight ends in the game.  I mean, check this out:

Those passes that he received were just fun to watch, weren't they?  I mean, C'MON, MAN!  Could we dream that Hunter would play for the New England Patriots?  I'm sure he's a fan since he grew up here.

Hunter, as you see from the YouTube video, played beautiful ball for Boston College.  Hunter's Mom was quoted in the WMUR report as saying:

In the process, he's graduated from Boston College in three and a half years with a computer science major, so there is nothing easy about the path that he took.

There is nothing but success in Hunter's future.  I wish him the best of luck tonight and I hope that Bill Belichick will pick him up.  I mean, those catches looked like something that Jules or Gronk would have done!

All the best, Hunter!  The Seacoast will be hoping and praying for you, even if it's not the Patriots.
