Q & A with Omar Hunter

That’s kind of an odd mix. What is it about Lynyrd Skynyrd that you like?
"Simple Man" is my favorite song.

  If you were on a deserted island and could have just one album to listen to for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Jay-Z’s “The Blueprint.” Jay-Z’s the greatest.

  What’s one thing on your bucket list that you want to do before you die?
I’d probably go scuba diving. I can’t swim and that would be a thrill.

Why can’t you swim? Are you afraid of water?
No, I just never learned.

Is there any special reason you wear No. 99?
Because my best friend, Justin Black, wore No. 9 in high school and I just wanted to remember him.

Who’s your hero?
My idol would be Jay-Z, but I don’t really have a hero.

Sounds like you may have some aspirations for getting into the music game after football’s over.
Oh no, none at all.

If you could play any other position besides DT, what would it be?
Quarterback, because I’ve got an arm. I can take Tebow’s spot. Naw, I’m just joking. Tebow’s the greatest.

Finish this sentence: I use (blank) so much, I should be a sponsor.
I use Calvin Klein cologne so much, I should be a sponsor.

Does it work?
Oh yes, it’s the best. It’s the best.
