"He's a unique player," Callahan said. "There's not a whole lot of players you could compare with what he's done. There's not many guys have played that many snaps on both sides of the ball. When you watch his tape, you see his ability to play both at a very high level."
"I think anybody that you talk to about him is gonna say the same thing. He's got the ability to play both, and then I think you got to find out where he fits. He has a really unique ability to do a lot of different things."

The Tennessee Titans have requirements for bolstering their offense for the upcoming season. If they decide to go with Travis Hunter instead of a quarterback, then he could potentially fill the void in their thing WR department apart from Calvin Ridley.

Hunter could also be a great addition to a Titans defense that had great statistics last season. They were the second-best team to allow the fewest yards per game (311.2). It will be interesting to see if Callahan decides to gamble his luck of being a Super Bowl contender by bringing in a unqiue talent like Hunter to the team.
