"I don't know he can excel at both" - Chris Broussard makes feelings known on Travis Hunter's two-way potential in NFL

Travis Hunter is one of the most-talked-about prospects in the 2025 NFL draft. The Colorado star was deployed as a cornerback and as a wideout during his college career, and now wants to continue as a two-way player in the big league.

Since playing two positions in the NFL will be more challenging for Hunter, analyst Chris Boussard is unsure about the CU star being successful on both sides of the ball.

"What I'd do if I'm a team that drafts him, I bring him in almost like it's two players," Boussard said on First Things First on Thursday (2:51). "I bring him in and start out with him as receiver and a cornerback. But I'm not letting him do anything. If you are one of our best corners, you are gonna start. If you are one of our best receivers, you are gonna start.

"If he can do it, like, I'm just gonna let him do it. I don't know that he can excel at both. And I think if he can excel at both, then he'll realize that at a point. And then we'll have a meeting where we can dial down the package where, OK, you're a full-time receiver, but we'll have packages with you as a corner, or vice versa."

Hunter won the Heisman Trophy in 2024 because of his versatility. On offense, he recorded 96 catches for 1,258 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns, while also rushing for a touchdown. As a cornerback, he tallied 35 tackles, four interceptions, and 11 passes defended.

Along with his many individual accolades, Hunter was also named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year.

While many have outlined the challenges for Hunter if he wants to play in two positions, the CU star still wants to be used on offense and defense.
