Travis Hunter | CB/WR | Colorado

Height: 6’1″
Weight: 185 lbs
Draft Projection: Top 5
Notable Accomplishment: 2024 Heisman Trophy Winner

Pros: Hunter is an elite athlete with the agility to break defenders’ ankles as a receiver and the fluidity to change direction as a corner in coverage. For anyone to play on offense and defense with minimal breaks in a game is absolutely incredible, and it only exposes Hunter’s incredible endurance and work ethic. As a receiver, Hunter has a great feel for zone coverage and recognizes where the soft spots are. When facing man coverage, Hunter does a great job creating separation at the cut, and his awareness and ball-tracking ability down the field allow him to make tough catches near the sideline and in traffic. As a corner, Hunter’s fluid backpedal and elite instincts allow him to react and create splash plays on the ball in zone coverage, and in man coverage, he gets good position against receivers at the line of scrimmage, bumping them off their route and forcing them to take the outside track. His athleticism allows him to hang with even the most athletic receivers.

Cons: While there is not much to pick apart about Hunter’s game, my primary concern lies in the fact that his frame is on the slim side. Time in an NFL weight room should resolve the issue in short order, but it is something worth monitoring for durability purposes. He also is unlikely to be a full-time starter at both receiver and corner in the NFL. It simply is not sustainable over a full career to play two positions at an extremely high level. He will need to commit to one at some point and focus on mastering that position.

Overview: The reason Travis Hunter is the best player in this draft is not because he can play two positions. I do not anticipate him playing both positions 100% of the time in the NFL, but whether you prefer him at receiver or cornerback does not matter at this point. At cornerback, he is neck and neck with Will Johnson as the best corner in this class, and in a weaker wide receiver class, he would be the top receiver in the class as well. No matter which position you want him to play, he should be at the top of your draft board, because he might very well be the top option at either position.
