Aight, real talk—what do you do when the dude who basically made you a college football superstar tells you one thing, but your gut says another? That’s where Travis Hunter is at right now, and it’s got everybody buzzing. Coach Prime—yeah, the goat of swagger himself—wants Hunter to roll into the NFL as a two-way beast. But word on the street is Hunter’s making the ultimate sacrifice by leaning into his cornerback bag full-time. And honestly? That’s about to send shockwaves through the league.

Let’s not sugarcoat it—Hunter’s last season was straight-up bananas. The dude’s put up Heisman numbers that felt like something outta Madden. We’re talkin’ 1,152 receiving yards, 14 touchdowns, and 4 picks on defense. Oh, and he bagged the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year while catching double-digit TDs like it’s nothing. But here’s the wild part: folks still don’t give him his flowers as a corner. They think he ain’t all that; he’s all hype, but look, that’s one diabolical lie. QBs are straight shook when it comes to his side of the field. He’s basically like, ‘Don’t even try it, dude.’ And when they do? It’s a wrap. Just ask Baylor and Utah fans about those interceptions.

NFL scouts are literally drooling over his potential. The word on the streets is, Hunter, could blaze through the 40-yard dash with a “4.25-4.30” time, no cap. And teams and big-time analysts are pegging him as a top-3 pick in this draft class. But here’s where it gets spicy. Deion Sanders isn’t about to let the NFL forget Hunter’s aura.

On The Rich Eisen Show, Prime laid it all out: “I’m going to make sure you don’t draft him if you’re not going to let him play both sides of the ba-l.” Look, let’s not twist his words. He’s ain’t asking for a full two-way role like at Colorado, but he wants teams to put some respect on Hunter’s WR game. Prime wasn’t kidding when he said, “He’s probably your best receiver.” And honestly? He’s got a point and a big receipt to back with.

So, here’s the deal—Hunter’s got two paths. He can lock down as a CB1, make WR1s disappear like Houdini, and run his bag up. Or he can bet on being the NFL’s first true two-way unicorn. Either way, the league ain’t ready for what’s coming.

Can Travis Hunter play both ways in the NFL?

Let’s keep it a buck—if anybody can pull this off, it’s Travis. Playing both ways full-time in the NFL is basically unheard of. But Hunter’s been a trendsetter since day 1. He’s got that dawg in him, and you can’t teach that. You are either born with it or not. The man’s a walking cheat code. On defense, he’s shutting down WRs like he’s got their route tree memorized, and on offense, he’s out here mossing big-timers.

Picture this: the Patriots pick him up. They’ve been out here starving for a WR1 since those 5’10” white receivers’ club retired. Hunter could slide in as their top receiver and lock up other teams’ WR1s like a bouncer at the club. It’s not just about the flash either; it’s about the bag. You don’t pass on a talent like this. Sure, he won’t play 100% on both sides like at Colorado, but red-zone fades and nickel packages? That’s light work for Hunter.

Still, keeping it 100, focusing on cornerback first is probably the best and logical move. He’s already built like a true CB1, and the league’s practically begging for someone like him to lock down the secondary. But here’s the kicker—don’t sleep on his offensive skills. Like Prime said, “You gotta be creative with him.” Hunter’s the type to leave defenses guessing, and that’s what makes him so dangerous.

Bottom line? Travis Hunter is about to flip the NFL script. Whether he’s catching tuddies or snatching picks, he’s bringing that Prime Time drip to the big league. The league ain’t seen anyone like this since Deion Sanders and Charles Woodson, and it might not ever again. Hunter’s not just playing football—he’s redefining it. You better buckle up, ‘cause this ride’s about to be crazy.
