🏈 What you guys think about Travis Hunter about playing both waying the NFL?

[rick4bama]

Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter told CBS Sports that none of the teams he has met with in the weeks ahead of the NFL draft has made an issue of him playing both offense and defense. However, if an NFL team told him he had to focus on wide receiver or cornerback and not play both, it would be game over for him.

Travis Hunter would rather stop playing vs. playing one position

So he’s going to tell the team that drafts him, and pays him millions of dollars, what he will and won’t play? That “me first” attitude is why I wouldn’t draft him. Same with Shedeur.

These fucking asses think its all about them
The world started when they were born

Good gosh.

I going to put this here because it Hunter and Sanders. Colorado will retire both of their jersey number during the spring game.



Some aren't glad about this! This is this one of many about this retirement.

Hell, he ought to pull a full Neon Dion, and play two sports... then he can have knee replacements at 40..

Hunter I can see since he won the Heisman and they retired Salaam's but Sanders' that's crazy.

Shedeur never won a bowl game

He was the best two way player in the country, plus the best WR and CB in college (awards show that), so the NFL team that drafts him should play him both ways.

The best two-way college player doesn't necessarily translate to two-way in the NFL. With all due respect to the popularity voters and the reconstituted C-USA/Mountain West schedule he played (61st in the nation), I'd leave it to the folks paying his salary to decide how he's utilized.

His record at Colorado was 13-12.

Lets agree that the standard at Colorado is not the Bama Standard .

Is Desmond the last one we can compare and contrast?

 

[BAMAneck]

I’d want two separate contracts for the wear and tear. Or pick whatever you feel is your best position and then try to become the best at that

I hope this was with sarcasm because the NFL is no joke!

Oh I don’t think he’s going to do good at both in the NFL, I don’t think he’ll be top 10 at either position, but if I was him and did what he did in college (schedule aside) and got the awards that he got I would want to do the same

I’m not saying it’s a joke (obviously), but if I did what he did in college and got the awards that he got I would be the same as him. I don’t think he’s going to do good at both in the NFL, he won’t even be top 10-15 int he NFL at either position, but the team that drafts should let him play both sides, think of it as throw to the deep end and hope he can swim

 

[OldPlayer]

Deion Sanders played both ways in the NFL, but not full time. Over his professional career he scored three (3) offensive touchdowns. If Hunter thinks he can tell an NFL what he will and won’t do, he has some learning to do. His attitude is a key reason not to draft him. I don’t think you lose anything without him.

Expensive gamble with one side of the ball, much less both sides of the ball. let's face it, awards are all media and based off prior year's performance. Atleast All-America selections and most finalists as long as they aren't injured.

If he plays both sides in the NFL, he will either wear out his body or burn out twice as fast.
