Deion Sanders believes Travis Hunter will have no issue adjusting to the NFL

Deion Sanders weighed in on the debate about Travis Hunter's ability to adjust to the pro level, while continuing to play on both sides of the ball.

Speaking on The Skip Bayless Show, Sanders stated:

"First of all, he's an incredible athlete that has the propensity to do both simultaneously. He's that good. He's going to be your best receiver and your best corner. Now, secondly, the pro game is slower, Skip, you go to huddles, man. It was during the - let's just say 25 to 35, 40 seconds between each play. College, we had the tempo. It was go, go, go, go, go."

Sanders noted that Hunter was able to play over 100 snaps per game despite the up-tempo pace of college football. He added that players in the NFL are also more protected from cheap shots, which should help keep the two-way star on the field more often.
