NFL Teams Divided on Travis Hunter's Draft Role as Two-Way Phenomenon Faces Uncertain Future

The Heisman-winning cornerback and receiver's unique skill set is both his greatest asset and a source of hesitation for teams with top draft picks.

  • Travis Hunter, the Heisman-winning Colorado star, is entering the NFL Draft as a two-way player, excelling at both cornerback and wide receiver.
  • NFL teams, including the Browns and Titans, are reportedly split on whether to prioritize his offensive or defensive potential, complicating his draft stock.
  • Hunter's draft position is under scrutiny, with scouts suggesting that positional value and league trends make it unlikely for a CB/WR to go first overall.
  • While Cleveland's GM views Hunter primarily as an offensive weapon, Tennessee's leadership sees him starting as a cornerback with potential for offensive contributions.
  • Hunter remains determined to play both ways in the NFL, but experts question the logistical and physical demands of maintaining such a role at the professional level.
