NFL GM Says Travis Hunter's 'Athleticism Shines' More at WR amid 2025 Draft Buzz

As two-way standout Travis Hunter enters his second season at Colorado, one NFL general manager believes that his future in the league will be on the offensive side of the ball.

"I think he's a more natural receiver," an AFC general manager said, per ESPN's Matt Miller. "To excel at corner, he'd really have to dedicate himself to the technique and craft. At receiver, his athleticism shines."

Hunter was limited to just nine appearances in 2023 due to injuries, although he still showcased his skills at wide receiver as well as cornerback. He hauled in 57 receptions for 721 yards and five touchdowns while also racking up 30 tackles and three interceptions on defense.
