Travis Hunter told CBS Sports that he would rather quit football than give up playing both wide receiver and cornerback. However, Hunter said none of the teams he\'s met with in the weeks ahead of the NFL draft has made an issue of him playing both offense and defense.
\"It\'s never playing football again,\" Hunter told CBS Sports. \"Because I\'ve been doing it my whole life, and I love being on the football field. I feel like I could dominate on each side of the ball, so I really enjoy doing it.\"
Hunter played 713 snaps on offense and 748 on defense for the Buffaloes in 2024.
There are differing opinions amongst teams about which position Hunter should focus on. The Cleveland Browns are picking second and see Hunter as primarily a wide receiver.
\"In terms of Travis Hunter, cornerback or receiver? The answer is yes,\" GM Andrew Berry said. \"He can play both, I think that\'s what makes him special. I think receiver primarily first, but I think what makes him a bit of a unicorn is the fact that he can do it at a high level.\"
If Hunter isn\'t selected by the Browns at No. 2, the New York Giants are widely expected to pick him at No. 3.
