Hunt was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the sixth round of the 1970 NFL Draft.[2] Hunt was given a number of opportunities to develop and play with the Packers. 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.[4] He played six games for the Packers in 1970.[1]
