Travis Hunter makes decision over NFL position ahead of 2025 draft

TRAVIS HUNTER has revealed he wants to play both offense and defense ahead of the NFL draft.

The 21-year-old has impressed as both a cornerback and wide receiver for the Colorado Buffaloes.

Hunter won the Heisman Trophy for best college player last year.

And he made history by picking up the Chuck Bednarik (best defensive player) and Fred Biletnikoff (best receiver) awards.

With the draft set for April 24, Hunter has given an indication of his positional future.

He said: “I’m going to play both. I’d like to play both sides of the ball.

“If they give me the opportunity to play both sides, I’m playing both sides.”

Asked if a team wants to restrict him to just offense or defense, Hunter replied: “That’s not my job to figure it out.”

Some doubt his versatility, but he hit back, saying: “They say, ‘nobody has ever done it the way I do it.’ I tell them, ‘I’m just different.'”

Tennessee Titans have the first pick before the Cleveland Browns, New York Giants and New England Patriots follow.

Despite Hunter’s talent, he might not be selected first.

Defensive end Abdul Carter, as well as quaterback duo Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders, could also go as No1.

Hunter may end up at either the Titans or Patriots – with the Browns and Giants tipped to pick a new QB.

Titans head coach Brian Callahan says it is “very realistic” that Hunter covers two positions in the NFL.
