“Travis Hunter’s Dual-Threat Dilemma: NFL’s Next Two-Way Star or Specialist?”
Hunter as a WR and CB in 2024
From a numbers perspective, the Heisman Trophy winner was elite last year.
He finished with 96 receptions and 15 touchdown catches to lead the Big 12, and ranked second with 1,258 receiving yards (those stats also tied for fourth, tied for second and ranked fifth in FBS college football, respectively). He also had four interceptions, 11 passes breakups, 35 tackles and one forced fumble on defense.
On its surface, Hunter is a surefire blue-chip prospect at both wide receiver and cornerback. But the idea that he could play at an elite level as a full-time starter at both positions is hard to imagine because of the up-leveling it takes to play in the NFL as well as the unprecedented amount of snaps he’d have to endure as well.
