There is an air of uncertainty surrounding Hunter's two-way potential in the league. Some believe that he should focus on one position, while others expect him to continue playing on both sides of the ball.

Amid the uncertainty, NFL analyst Rob Rang made a bold claim about the Colorado star. During an appearance on the "NFL on Fox" podcast, he stated that Hunter is the best prospect out of all the wide receivers and cornerbacks this year in the draft.

"He is one of the best wide receivers in this class, the best cornerback in this class. I believe he's one of one," Rang said. "I think he can play both roles in the NFL. There's not very often I see a player, as a true freshman, going back to his days at Jackson State, of course, and then watching him, his very first game at Colorado, and then I just thought, this guy is different."
