Let me start out by saying, I have never seen a quarterback with your arm! I remember nobody wanting to catch warm-up passes from you in the gym before practice at Hampton High because you threw the ball too hard!! My prayers go out to your family and I pray that the Lord gives them the strength to continue on as we all know you are with God now.

Before there was Aaron Brooks, Allen Iverson, Ronald Curry, Mike Vick, Taaj Boyd, and Tyrod Taylor, there was a QB named Eric Hunter. To his family, we may not know what tomorrow holds, yet we have faith in knowing that God holds tomorrow. You are in my prayers.
