He played college football for the Arizona Wildcats, whose teammates included his older brother, Ricky.[3] Prior to his senior season, Hunley was moved from weakside inside linebacker to strongside inside linebacker, following in his brother's footsteps.[4][5] Hunley earned first-team All-Pac-10 Conference honors in his new role.[5]
After going undrafted in the 1985 NFL draft, Hunley signed a free agent contract with the Indianapolis Colts. As a rookie, he recorded 25 special teams tackles, which ranked second on the team.[6] Hunley earned playing time at right inside linebacker in 1986 after the team's leading tackler, Barry Krauss, suffered a season-ending against the New York Jets.[6] Hunley recorded five solo tackles, one assisted tackle, and one fumble recovery in the game.[6] However, he suffered a foot injury a few weeks later and was placed on the injured reserve list.
After his playing career, Hunley became a co-owner of Arizona Health, a fitness equipment store, along with partner Scott Thompson.[7]
