The COVID-19 outbreak has practically brought the sports world to a halt, and its impact has extended to the process of pre-draft visits.
Louisiana-Lafayette offensive tackle Robert Hunt is on the radar of several NFL teams, as he went through formal interviews at the combine with the Seattle Seahawks, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, New York Jets, New York Giants, Buffalo Bills and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
But concerns surrounding the coronavirus have affected his visits with the New York Jets, Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans.

How this issue gets resolved remains to be seen until the spreading of the virus is under control.
The 6-foot-5, 323-pound lineman started all 13 games at left guard as a redshirt freshman, and split time between left guard and left tackle in the next season.
He played right tackle in all 14 contests in 2018, and was voted to second-team all-conference.
Hunt only played in seven games of his senior season, struggling with a groin injury, but still earned first-team All-SBC honors for his performance at right tackle.
As the Titans look to strengthen the depth behind their starting offensive line and right tackle Dennis Kelly, Hunt could be an option for them in the 2020 NFL Draft.
