San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh said Thursday, Feb. 23, that RB Kendall Hunter is likely to see a bigger role going forward. 'You saw a lot of Kendall Hunter last year. Don't think there would be any reason not to. He did a fabulous job for us in two phases - offensive and in the area of special teams,' Harbaugh said. 'And he just works so darn hard at it. And he likes football so much and he's willing to spend extra classroom time.'
Fantasy Impact: Hunter seems to have a bright future. He could be the starter in another year or two with Frank Gore nearing the end.
