Coach Hunt on Nick: "You don't have a good team without a Nick Alvarez. He had a role for four years. Started off as a scout team kid, then was solely a special teams player and then became someone who has played on defense quite a bit. He's a guy who sets the tone with how we want our players to play. He does everything right, is extremely physical, has never complained about his role and has taken on new responsibilities. That's part of the reason we've been successful as a team."
