The montage included sonograms and other home footage, including a video taken by Hunter’s wife explaining she had a dream on Feb. 28 that she would have a baby boy “with lots of curly hair.”
Hunter and his wife told the baby that Hunter got drafted to the Jaguars, with Hunter telling the baby that he, too, would get drafted by the Jaguars.
The montage then featured progressive baby bumps and one more hospital visit before turning to black. A doctor is then heard telling Hunter’s wife to give it “everything you got” before the baby cries, and people give their reactions.
