NFL Draft analyst says Travis Hunter should play on defense in the NFL

As the NFL draft gets closer, more people share their two cents on this situation. NFL draft analyst Matt Miller was the latest to join the conversation, saying that Hunter should stick to defense since it's harder to find good cornerbacks than wide receivers.

“Early in the process, I said he’s a wide receiver because I think you want the ball in his hands,” Miller said. “That was my take early. I will say, having been on the road for the last month and talking to teams, my opinion has started to change because they say it’s harder to find good corners than it is good receivers."

“We have to keep that aspect in mind. It’s easier to have a package of ten plays on offense. You can’t do that on defense. Like, you can’t moonlight on defense, basically. So, I think if you’re going to let him play both ways, it has to be defense first.”

Travis Hunter has expressed his desire to play every snap on offense and defense, but it seems like he'll have to pick between the two roles.
