Heisman winner Travis Hunter has had an unforgettable season. As a two way star for the Colorado B11uffs, Hunter racked up stats, records, and awards. Will we see more two way players following after Hunter? Or will it be another decade or two before we see another? Despite being a bit polarizing amongst fans, Hunter has won the hearts of coaches, analysts and scouts. Here is a sampling of the NFL mock drafts and where Travis Hunter lands.

Position: 1
Analyst: Chris Trapasso
Analysis: N/A
Team: New England Patriots
Position: 1
Analyst: Josh Edwards
Analysis: “Travis Hunter is more advanced as a cornerback at this stage of his career, but New England needs more help for Drake Maye. Hunter is one of the most dynamic players in the country and one of a few worthy of consideration at this stage of the first round.”
Team: New England Patriots
Position: 3

Yahoo! Sports– Prospect Ranking: N/A
Team: New England Patriots
Position: 2
Analyst: Nate Tice and Charles McDonald
Analysis: “Travis Hunter might be the best overall player in the class, and the Patriots need help at skill positions on offense and defense. Hunter would make a lot of sense as a shutdown cornerback across from Christian Gonzalez and can step in on offense here and there as needed.”
Pro Football Network– Prospect Ranking: N/A
Team: Jacksonville Jaguars
Position: 3
Analyst: Dalton Miller
Analysis: “There’s not much more to say about Travis Hunter at this point. The Colorado weapon has arguably the greatest ball skills of this generation as a wide receiver.
That makes him the unquestioned top dog in that respect at cornerback. He’s darty and fast and, in 2024, played with more physicality than in the past.
Hunter isn’t perfect as a man coverage defender. He could use a bit more mass and physicality to his frame. However, his coverage intelligence is unmatched. Only Pat Surtain II carries any argument for being an equal in that department.
Defensively, Hunter’s mental process as a receiver allows him to get into the head of opposing WRs. As a receiver, he’s elevated his game as a route runner.
While Hunter’s true calling card would be his ability to attack the football, the acrobatic catches aren’t what he’s best at, either. His most remarkable trait is his ability to feel out his move post-catch while maintaining full attention on the incoming football. If he had a sturdier frame, he’d be one of the most dangerous NFL offensive weapons after the catch.“
