Travis Hunter’s NFL draft stats have become the talk of the town, and the two-way star himself has expressed his ambition to be the first overall pick. “I want to be the first pick. I never dreamed of it until a couple of years ago, when I knew I had a chance. That has been my main goal. I don’t care where it is at,” he stated.

However, Hunter’s NFL future is still uncertain, as his versatility as a two-way player raises questions about whether he will be drafted as a cornerback or wide receiver. As the draft approaches in less than a year, fans and experts eagerly await insights from insiders to get a clearer picture of his potential landing spot.

Following the ongoing debate, today in the episode of the Prime Time For College Football podcast, an insider revealed his opinion on what position Travis will be playing in the NFL, adding fuel to the fire. He said, “With his game and the way he’s been playing out of his mind on both sides of the [pigskin], he’s not going to be able to play both positions in the NFL. We know this game gets a lot more strenuous and requires much more from players. But there is a good chance that he could possibly play corner or wide receiver.”

Playing both offense and defense is no easy feat, but Travis Hunter has proven that it’s possible. Just last week against the Knights, he showcased his incredible versatility. On offense, he racked up 89 yards on nine receptions with a touchdown. Defensively, he made two solo tackles and snagged an interception. With a performance like that, there should likely be no doubts about Hunter’s two-way skills.

As the podcast continued, the insider pointed out that playing both cornerback and wide receiver at the NFL level would be incredibly demanding, both physically and mentally. He also shared his personal preference for Hunter’s position in the NFL, suggesting that,“ I think he should play wide receiver, just to simplify things for himself.”

Well, that’s true to some extent. Based on Travis Hunter’s this season’s statistics, the wide receiver position seems to be dominated by him. He currently leads the Big 12 with 46 catches, 561 yards, and six touchdowns. And this “mighty” Travis Hunter’s NFL draft pick is the current hot topic in college football. But let’s find out which NFL team he’s hoping to play for.

According to Mel Kiper Jr. from ESPN, Hunter is the top prospect in the country and is ranked number one on his latest big board for next year’s draft.

There is no doubt that his draft stock has skyrocketed, with all 32 NFL teams showing interest in him. His impressive skill set and timing have made him a standout player and a key contributor to Colorado’s success. Now you know why there has been a debate on his two-way skills!

However, in a recent episode of the Kickin It With Dee Podcast, Travis Hunter discussed his own preferred NFL team, saying, “I wish I could go to the Broncos just to stay in Colorado because so many people just welcomed us with open arms, and they showed us love that we wouldn’t have gotten in a different spot.” Now, no matter which team he joins or the position he plays, he will surely excel in his gameplay.
