Travis Hunter opens up about his Combine experience at Indianapolis

At the Combine, Hunter took part in several interviews and team meetings, especially with the franchises that are picking in the top 5 of this year's NFL draft. On Wednesday's episode of his eponymous show, the Colorado two-way star opened up about his experience at Indianapolis.

Hunter stated that he had to maintain a very busy schedule at the Combine. Despite the work, he had a lot of fun meeting with teams and getting familiar with them.

"The Combine was fun, it was actually lit," Hunter said. "I didn't know what to expect since I never had been there before, but it turned out to be a great experience. I really got to work."

"You just have to be ready to give your whole day, or a couple of days you're to the Combine staff and the NFL. You have to be prepared for everything they throw at you because there's a lot going on. For the most part, it's just busy work- just doing busy work. It ain't nothing new." (TS-0:25 onwards)

One of the biggest questions that Travis Hunter was asked at the Combine was about his future as a two-way player in the NFL. Travis is confident in his ability to continue playing on both sides of the ball. However, it will be interesting to see if the team that drafts him allows him to do so.
