“Travis Hunter’s Dual-Threat Dilemma: NFL’s Next Two-Way Star or Specialist?”
Letâs take a look at Hunterâs abilities at cornerback and receiver, as well as how much heâd have to play in an NFL season.
Hunter the Cornerback
Hunter began his collegiate career at cornerback before he became a fully fledged two-way player. The 2024 Bednarik Award reflects his elite abilities at defensive back.
His cornerback advanced metrics werenât terribly consistent, as his burn rate allowed ranked in the top 15 of 140 FBS draft-eligible prospects, while his open rate allowed ranked outside the top 100. However, Hunter was one of the least-targeted cornerbacks among the draft-eligible players with at least 250 pass coverage snaps. He was targeted on only 11.7% of his pass-coverage snaps, which ranked as the ninth fewest among the group.
