Remember Hunter won the 250 class at MXdN way back in 2017, when Jett was still a kid. He’s always had the potential, just that repeat injuries slowed the progression. 
You could also argue Jett’s only this good because he grew up chasing his fast older brother, and still gets to practice every day with the next best competitor. Works both ways, and makes for a formidable team, similar to the Coenens.
