College football season had already drawn its curtains with players eagerly waiting for the NFL draft. And one player who could find himself being drafted quite early is the Buffaloes’ dual-threat star, Travis Hunter. Like Hunter has almost averaged 113 snaps per game while spilling his contributions both in the offense and defense. On the offensive side of things, Hunter caught more than 90 passes for his 1,258 passing yards and 15 red zone scores. Well, he equally chipped in on the defense with 36 tackles, four interceptions, and a staggering 11 passes defended.

So, where can you possibly fit Hunter by the time he reaches the NFL? Because putting him on the offense would mean not utilizing his defensive prowess. And if you only keep him in the defense, you will probably miss out on a lot of explosive plays. Even Todd McShay, who is an expert on the NFL draft, couldn’t decide upon Hunter’s best position, “Where are we going to play him? That’s the big question. Because I look at him right now based off the tape. And you would think it would be cornerback is his best spot. I actually think he’s better wide receiver right now.”

Well, his head coach, Deion Sanders, has clarified what he wants NFL franchises to do with Hunter. Deion doesn’t want any franchise to draft his player if they don’t want to play him on both offense and defense. “Don’t draft him if you’re not going to give him an opportunity to play both sides of the ball. Because he’s going to be probably your best receiver, and you’re going to look like an idiot with your best receiver sitting on the bench. Or vice versa.” 

So, maybe the Giants have already got the message on what they need to do if they pick Hunter out of Colorado. Getting Travis Hunter would be gold, but a QB is also a priority that the Giants cannot overlook. And only time will tell whom they go for by the time this year’s NFL draft comes along.
