For months, the debate has raged on-where does Travis Hunter belong in the NFL? The Colorado two-way star has electrified fans with his ability to dominate on both sides of the ball, but that versatility has also sparked uncertainty. As the league prepares for the draft, some executives aren't entirely sold on Hunter's future at one position.
Despite being one of the most dynamic playmakers in college football, Hunter's game is being scrutinized. According to an anonymous NFC executive, there are still "rough edges" in his technique as a wide receiver. The criticism isn't entirely surprising-while Hunter has made highlight-reel catches, his natural instincts seem stronger on defense. But does that mean his NFL future is already decided?
The buzz surrounding Hunter only intensified with the release of the official NFL Scouting Combine list. Many expected him to be labeled as both a cornerback and wide receiver, a reflection of his impact on both ends of the field. Instead, the update caught some by surprise.
Hunter has been officially listed as a cornerback for the NFL Combine, signaling a major shift in how teams might evaluate him. While some see this as a mere formality-after all, a position had to be listed-others believe it solidifies his defensive future. Hunter's dominance in coverage, his playmaking ability, and his elite instincts have drawn comparisons to some of the best defensive backs in the game.
Hunter wants to continue to play both positions
That doesn't mean his offensive talents are being dismissed. Hunter has repeatedly expressed his desire to continue as a two-way player, acknowledging the risks but believing in his ability to manage both roles. "I understand that it will be a high risk... but I believe I can do it," he previously stated.
The real question now is whether NFL teams are willing to take that gamble. While Hunter's offensive production has been impressive, his defensive impact is undeniable. With multiple interceptions, game-changing plays, and rare instincts, it's no wonder scouts see him as a game-changer in the secondary.
As the draft approaches, the debate will only intensify. Will Hunter be allowed to chase his dream as a two-way player, or will teams force him to commit to one side of the ball? The decision may ultimately shape his legacy before he even steps onto an NFL field.
