Travis Hunter is one of the most interesting draft prospects in recent NFL history

Travis Hunter has become one of the most coveted draft prospects in this year's NFL draft.

Hunter played almost every snap on both sides of the football, becoming one of the only college football players in recent history to accomplish such a feat. He lined up as a wide receiver on offense and as a cornerback on defense.

The 6-foot-1, 185-pound player had several highlight plays from last season. Hunter had 132 yards and three touchdowns in the opener against NDSU. Then in the game against Baylor, he delivered a crushing tackle in overtime that popped the ball loose for a fumble and sealed the game for the Colorado Buffaloes.

Those heroics were part of the reason why he won the Heisman Trophy, becoming the first cornerback to win it since Charles Woodson in 1997.

He registered as a defensive back for the NFL scouting combine, but is expected to do both defensive back and wide receiver drills at the Big 12 Pro Day that takes place between Tuesday and Friday.
