Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter is one of the hottest commodities in this year's NFL Draft. He had an impressive final collegiate campaign with the Buffs in 2024, leading them to a 9-4 record. Hunter won the 2024 Heisman Champion, the first Buffs player to receive the award since Rashaan Salaam in 1994.

"Nah, that would be cold," Hunter said. "You can't have us both. It's a cheat code. Like who you gonna...You can't double.... You never know. That could happen this draft. Because you know, some funny stuff could be going on... We never know what's happening behind them doors."

NFL analyst dissects Travis Hunter's talents as a two-way star

On Friday, NFL analyst Sam Monson discussed about Travis Hunter's two-way abilities. On the 33rd Team' podcast, Monson said that Hunter has the talent to play both ways professionally.

"This is the thing people are missing with this when you try to reduce it to just snaps," Monson said. "The level of absurd stamina that you have to be able to sprint constantly at two of the most intense positions in football and be able to do it without a break effectively. The only break you get is when the special teams kick. That's insane!

"That's absolutely nuts to do that. I do think that he (Travis Hunter) showed that it' possible. I don't know anyone that will let him try. But now I think, based off last year, I think it's doable. I think he could actually achieve it."

There will be a lot of eyes on Travis Hunter during the Combine later this month. It will be interesting to see if teams decide to use his two-way talents in the NFL or have him focus on one position for longevity.
