Ervin Jacob Hunt (born July 1, 1947) is a former defensive back in the National Football League (NFL).
He graduated from Edison High School in Fresno, California, in 1965.
He played at the collegiate level at California State University, Fresno.
Veteran players had threatened to strike in 1970, so only rookies were allowed at training camp, Hunt included.
[3] A little later, Herb Adderley, the Packers' star cornerback, retired from football and opened up the possibility of more playing time for Ervin, who had impressed the team's coaching staff.
