Florida nose tackle Omar Hunter had one of the more candid interviews of the season by a Florida Gators football player when he met with the media on Tuesday.

It’s not a surprise he’s a veteran at handling the media. After all, Hunter has appeared in 47 career games, the most of any Florida football player on this season's roster.

Calling himself “fat and out of shape,” Hunter admitted he wasn’t ready to contribute when he arrived on campus as a true freshman in 2008. He said he expected “everything to me handed to me” after being named an EA Sports and Parade All-American out of Buford, Ga.
