Former Tennessee WR Justin Hunter had a nice play to get the Pittsburgh Steelers on the board first against the Tennessee Titans in their third preseason game on Saturday.
The sixth-year receiver burned the Titans secondary on a go route, and QB Ben Roethlisberger was able to hook up with him for the 32-yard score.

The play had to feel nice for Hunter, as he was drafted by the Titans in 2013 and released after just three seasons.
This is just Hunter’s second season in Pittsburgh, and he seems to be making the most of Antonio Brown’s absence in the preseason. In 2017, Hunter had four receptions for 23 yards and one touchdown.
