- NCAA. Travis Hunter divides NFL franchises: One head coach shoots down two-way potential, GM disagrees
- NCAA. Travis Hunter tells his future self he's worried and frustrated with 9 days left until the NFL Draft
Travis Hunter is one of the most exciting stories of football in the last years, as the Heisman Trophy winner gets ready for the 2025 NFL Draft, with six days left until the big event.
The former Colorado Buffaloes standout, who shined as a flashy wide receiver and a shutdown cornerback, is perceived as a generational talent that could be the face of the league for many years to come.
Analysts and NFL Draft specialists believe Hunter will be selected by the New York Giants with the third overall pick, as one of the worst teams on the NFC is looking to complement his young wide receiver Malik Nabers, who set the team's all-time record for single-season catches as a rookie.
Travis Hunter shows he's a bully to his younger brother
Travis Hunter is also enjoying some time off the field to his younger brother Trayvis Hunter, who's already showing off his skills in high schools and at football events. The youngster has already received offers from Tennessee State, Georgia State and Jackson State - where Travis played along superstar quarterback Shedeur Sanders - .
But that does not shield Trayvis Hunter from getting bullied by his older brother. On a recent video posted by Travis Hunter, the next NFL star says that he's happy to see his little brother shining and making great plays. "Now I had to show up and watch my dog, hopefully he do something, he might not do, but I still came out here to my boy," he states.
He then goes on and ask his younger brother if he's scared of being watched by his older sibling. "What am I getting scared for you to watch me play? You've been watching me play for years!" Trayvis answered. That's what triggered his older brother to grab hi by the shirt and picked him up, as he said: "Hey, bro, why you not with your team, bro, don't you got to play?"
A last minute change could have Travis in Cleveland
Travis Hunter is going to be a special player, there's no doubt about it. He's the best cornerback and receiver in the draft class and should have his wish of playing both ways fulfilled, even if it doesn't happen full-time, as teams on the league would most likely not want their star hurt or taking any unnecesary chances.
According to draft analyst Chad Reuter, the Cleveland Browns "need a big-play receiver alongside Jerry Jeudy, who finished with more than twice as many receiving yards (1,229) as the next closest player on the team." Jeudy was a big promise for the Denver Broncos - who picked him in the first round - before trading him on March 2024 for a fifth-round pick and a sixth-round pick.
Reuter added that Travis Hunter could also line up across from Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward at times to limit options for opposing quarterbacks. Either way, the Heisman Trophy winner is ready to add more offensive power to whichever team drafts him.
