Hunt learns from his mistakes (Eye on the Eagles)

Hunt learns from his mistakes

Former Penn State standout Tony Hunt has done pretty well during the Eagles summer minicamps and the training camp that opened on Friday, but the Saturday afternoon 7-on-7 drill was not one of his better performances.

Hunt, a running back, dropped two catchable balls coming out of the backfield during the session. After the second, Eagles head coach Andy Reid called him over for a chat. Reid, who typically does a lot more watching than talking during these things, spent a couple of minutes talking to the rookie who has an excellent chance of making the team.

When Reid was done Hunt walked back to the players in line to run drills, shaking his head. Moments later, he was doing the pushups in the sweltering heat that generally indicate someone has messed up and a coach has seen the transgression.

The next time up, Hunt made a nice catch on a deeper route, about 15 yards downfield.

"I know the playbook well enough that I shouldn't be making mistakes out there," Hunt said.
