The next great NSFL superstar isn't unknown and isn't without some controversy, but he is a great player and only showed it in limited action last year. The next great NSFL superstar is Ethan Hunt, quarterback for the San Jose SabreCats.
Coming into the inaugural season he was billed as running quarterback, and with the way the S1 draft shook out, those weren't desired in this new start-up league. He was taken by a team with two quarterbacks already on the roster, Orange County, and rumor has it he was asked to use his athleticism at other positions. Like Tim Tebow before him, Ethan refused and stuck it out at QB, eventually being traded to San Jose. Refusing to switch was the best thing he ever did.
Hunt never complained while backing up the interception prone Mike Boss. He bided his time and practiced hard. This hard work paid off when he landed in San Jose, as their new starting quarterback. Hunt hit the ground running, with his first start against the Yeti in week 9, torching the defense for 228 yards and 2 touchdowns. This earned him a 107 QB rating. The rest of his season wasn't as good as this first start but he still ended with 6 touchdowns to 3 interceptions and a 75 QB rating.
Coming on strong for the S2 preseason was a must for Hunt who wants to solidify himself as one of the greats. He did just that in preseason week 2 with a 235 yard, 5 touchdown performance against the newly created Philadelphia liberty.
Hunt will be one of the best quarterbacks this season, and he will need it as San Jose has already moved on from him with the young Christian Adams waiting to take over and his declaration of not returning to San Jose once his contract is concluded.
