Deion Sanders Advocates for Travis Hunter's Two-Way Role in NFL

The Heisman-winning star faces a pivotal decision as NFL scouts debate his potential as a dual-position player.

Deion Sanders has urged NFL teams to allow Travis Hunter to play both wide receiver and cornerback, warning that teams unwilling to do so should not draft him.
Hunter, who won the 2024 Heisman Trophy, excelled on both offense and defense at Colorado, amassing 1,152 receiving yards, 14 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions this season.
NFL scouts reportedly see Hunter as primarily a cornerback but acknowledge his elite offensive skills, with some expressing interest in using him in specific offensive packages.
Hunter is expected to be a top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, though he retains the option to return to college football if NFL teams fail to meet his two-way aspirations.
Sanders, a former two-way NFL player himself, believes Hunter’s unique talent can redefine positional expectations in the league.
