Eagles release Tony Hunt

The Philadelphia Eagles released RB/FB Tony Hunt, the former Penn State Nittany Lion RB.

Hunt's release hardly was a surprise. The Eagles switched the 2007 third-round pick out of Penn State from running back to fullback only 2 weeks before the start of the season, even though he had very little experience as a blocker.

Hunt was drafted by the Eagles in the 3rd round of the 2007 NFL Draft. Hunt has 25 career rushing yards on 14 attempts with 2 TDs.
