Colorado’s Deion Sanders’ NFL advice to Travis Hunter
Colorado’s head coach, Deion Sanders, advised Travis Hunter, a two-way player for the Buffaloes, to continue being himself in the NFL. Sanders emphasized Hunter’s versatility, playing both wide receiver and cornerback, and suggested that he should maintain this dual role at the professional level.
The coach highlighted the challenge for NFL teams in deciding how to utilize Hunter’s talents, noting that he brings value to both offense and defense. “NFL got a problem. What you gonna draft him as? And… he’s gotta play both ways. ‘Cause he has value on both sides of the ball,” Sanders said.
In his first year at Colorado, Travis achieved significant success. He recorded impressive stats: 57 catches for 721 yards and five touchdowns on offense, and 22 total tackles, five passes defended, and three interceptions on defense in just nine games.
Hunter is eligible to declare for the NFL draft after his junior season. The position at which the CB is drafted will impact his future earnings. The highest-paid cornerback in the NFL earns $21 million annually, while the highest-paid receiver earns $30 million per year.
Regardless of his position, it’s evident that Travis Hunter possesses unique talents that will make him an attractive prospect for NFL teams.
