Travis Hunter has made it abundantly clear that he needs to proceed to be a two-way participant when he begins his NFL profession, and the previous Colorado star would love his future workforce to know he’s critical about that.
In a recent interview with Garrett Podell of CBS Sports, Hunter spoke about how a lot he has emphasised to groups main as much as the draft that he expects to play each vast receiver and cornerback within the NFL. The Heisman Trophy winner even appeared to present groups an ultimatum.
Hunter mentioned he would somewhat not play soccer than be advised to stay to 1 place.
“It’s by no means taking part in soccer once more,” Hunter advised Podell. “As a result of I’ve been doing it my entire life, and I like being on the soccer subject. I really feel like I might dominate on either side of the ball, so I actually take pleasure in doing it.”
That was doubtless a hyperbole from Hunter. He wouldn’t retire if an NFL workforce advised him he wanted to deal with one facet of the ball. If something, that was one other approach for him to indicate groups that he really believes he can do professionally what only a few gamers have completed earlier than him.
Hunter acknowledged that the NFL competitors can be a lot steeper than at Colorado. He mentioned he has “a aggressive spirit that I can do no matter I put my thoughts to,” so he isn’t involved about taking over an excessive amount of.
If Hunter have been to play vast receiver and cornerback within the NFL, he must discover a solution to attend conferences with each place teams. Some would say there are usually not sufficient hours in a day for that, however the 21-year-old lately made a wild claim about the workload he is willing to take on.
Hunter is extensively anticipated to be taken with one of many first 4 picks within the draft, which belong to the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, New York Giants and New England Patriots. Nonetheless, the Titans appear locked in on quarterback Cam Ward.
Patriots coach Mike Vrabel has indicated he can be keen to have Hunter play snaps on offense and protection, although he offered a disclaimer.
Even when he sees time on each side of the ball, it’s nonetheless doubtless that Hunter’s subsequent workforce will need him to deal with honing his abilities at one place. We doubt any NFL workforce is worried in regards to the danger of Hunter retiring.
